发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
The -ably adverbs above all end in the same unstressed /əbli/ as inexplicably, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are ending matches, not true rhymes. The adjective inexplicable is a useful lookalike: it ends in -able and often has a different stress pattern (e.g., /ˌɪnɪkˈsplɪkəbəl/), so its final sound is /əbəl/, not /əbli/.
