发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common true rhymes. These are spelling lookalikes. 'honest' shares the silent h and initial /ɑ/ of 'honor', but the sounds diverge after the first syllable. 'honey', 'hour', 'horse', 'horn', and 'hover' all look similar at the start but sound different in the vowel or consonant.
