发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All of these words share the spelling ending '-ist', but they do not rhyme with 'dentist' because their stressed vowels differ (/ɑːr/, /aɪ/, /ɜːr/, /iː/, /ɛ/, /ʊ/ vs. /ɛ/). Only words with the same stressed vowel /ɛ/ and following sounds would be true rhymes, such as 'dentist' with 'trentist' (rare). These lookalikes are useful for spelling patterns but not for pronunciation matching.
