Pronunciation & Spelling
emigrant /ˈɛməɡrənt/ has no common exact rhymes. The words below share the spelling -grant or the unstressed ending -ant, but beware: 'grant' alone is /ɡrænt/, not /ɡrənt/. 'migrant' and 'immigrant' end with /ɡrənt/ like 'emigrant' but stress different vowels (/maɪ-/ and /ɪm-/). 'tenant', 'elephant', and 'servant' illustrate the common unstressed -ant /ənt/ ending.
