发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only 'favourable' shares the -ourable spelling; however, its stressed vowel /eɪ/ differs from /ɒ/ in 'honourable'. 'Tolerable' rhymes exactly (same stressed vowel and ending). Other -able words (miserable, vulnerable, considerable, deplorable) are common but have varied vowel sounds; they are useful for comparing the suffix pattern.
