All six words end with the unstressed suffix /kiːpə/, spelled `-keeper`, exactly like `gamekeeper`. They are not perfect rhymes with `gamekeeper` because the stressed vowels differ (e.g., /eɪ/ in game- vs /ɒ/ in shop-, /uː/ in zoo-, /aʊ/ in house-, /ʊ/ in book-, /ɔː/ in door-, /aɪ/ in time-). The standalone word `keeper` /ˈkiːpə/ is stressed on `keep` and is a lookalike; `keepsake` /ˈkiːpseɪk/ also begins with `keep` but has a different final sound – do not confuse these with the -keeper pattern.
