These words share spelling patterns or sounds with 'feebly' (/ˈfiːbli/), but none is an exact rhyme. 'feeble' shares the base spelling and the opening /ˈfiːb/ sound but is an adjective. 'probably', 'terribly', and 'wobbly' end in the letters -bly and the sound /bli/, yet their stressed vowels differ from /iː/, so they do not rhyme. 'weakly' and 'deeply' have the same stressed vowel /iː/ but different following consonants. An exact rhyme would need the pattern /iːbli/, which no common English word has.
