发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in '-herent' (like coherent, adherent) rhyme with inherent (all pronounced /...hɪrənt/). Words ending in '-ferent' (different), '-tient' (patient), '-dent' (evident, confident) have different vowel sounds and stress patterns, so they are not true rhymes despite similar spelling.
