发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only audible and laudable rhyme with inaudible — the stressed vowel /ɔː/ and the following /dəbl/ match. Although plausible shares the 'au' spelling and the /ɔː/ vowel, its ending is /zəbl/, not /dəbl/, so it does not rhyme. Edible, legible and credible end in the same '-ible' spelling but have a different vowel before the ending, so they are also non-rhyming lookalikes.
