Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending with -abled (abled, labeled, tabled, cabled, fabled, gabled) all rhyme with disabled because they share the same stressed vowel /eɪ/ and following sounds /bəld/. However, words like 'able' (ending with -able) look similar but do not rhyme due to the missing final /d/.
