发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes exactly with /ˈfɛləni/. The -ony words (colony, agony, harmony, phony) are spelling lookalikes, not rhymes: colony shares the final /ləni/ but has a different stressed vowel, while the others have very different vowel sounds. Penny and melon match the stressed /ɛ/ vowel but not the ending.
