disable /dɪsˈeɪbəl/ rhymes with able, enable, unable, and table: from the stressed vowel on, they all end in /eɪbəl/. Capable and ability are useful lookalikes but do not rhyme: capable /ˈkeɪpəbəl/ puts stress on the first syllable, and ability /əˈbɪləti/ has a different vowel in its stressed syllable.
