Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the common suffix '-ly' (pronounced /li/), but their stressed syllables differ, so they are not perfect rhymes. For example, 'infinitely' has primary stress on the first syllable /ˈɪn/, while 'completely' has stress on the second syllable /ˈpliːt/. The '-ly' ending is unstressed in all cases.
