Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of 'deceased' (given IPA /dɪsist/) rhymes with /ɪst/ words like 'list', 'fist', etc. However, many similar-looking words ending in '-eased' or '-east' (e.g., 'beast', 'feast') actually have a long /iː/ vowel and do not rhyme. Learners should be careful not to confuse the vowel sound.
