Pronunciation & Spelling
Feminist /ˈfɛmənɪst/ and violinist /ˌvaɪəˈlɪnɪst/ match internist /ɪnˈtɜːnɪst/ in the final unstressed syllable /nɪst/. Dentist /ˈdɛntɪst/, artist /ˈɑːtɪst/, scientist /ˈsaɪəntɪst/ and specialist /ˈspɛʃəlɪst/ are spelling lookalikes ending in -ist, but their final syllables sound /tɪst/ or /lɪst/, not /nɪst/. None of the six is a true rhyme with internist because the primary stress falls on a different syllable and the stressed vowels differ.
