发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No genuine rhymes. Exogenous and endogenous share the -genous suffix and stress pattern but have /ɒ/ instead of /ɪ/. Heterogeneous, homogeneous, simultaneous, and spontaneous have different stressed vowels (/iː/, /eɪ/), so they sound different despite the -ous spelling.
