发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All words share the spelling '-ity' and end with the same unstressed /ɪti/ sound. Note, however, that the stressed vowel varies: most have /ɪ/ (e.g., ability, activity, utility, simplicity), but reality has /æ/ and velocity has /ɑ/. So they are not perfect rhymes, but the suffix-rhyme is consistent.
