These words end in -sis but do not rhyme with 'emphasis' because the stressed vowel differs. 'Emphasis' has primary stress on the first syllable (/ˈɛm/), while others have stress on different syllables (e.g., 'basis' /ˈbeɪ/, 'crisis' /ˈkraɪ/, 'thesis' /ˈθiː/, 'diagnosis' /ˈnoʊ/, 'synthesis' /ˈsɪn/, 'hypothesis' /ˈpɑːθ/). They are useful lookalikes for spelling but sound different.
