Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like 'possible', 'visible', 'terrible', 'horrible', and 'sensible' share the '-ible' ending and rhyme among themselves (first-syllable stress, /əbəl/ ending), but they do not rhyme with 'incomprehensible', which has primary stress on the third syllable. 'Comprehensible' is the closest in spelling but also has a different stress pattern.
