Pronunciation note: Words ending in /ˈɑlɝənt/ rhyme with intolerant—only tolerant is a close rhyme in this list. Intolerable, tolerance, and tolerate are spelling lookalikes with the same root 'toler', but their endings differ (/əbəl/, /əns/, /eɪt/), so they do not rhyme. Arrogant and important share the written suffix -ant and the final /ənt/ sound, but their stressed vowels differ (/ær/ and /ɔr/ vs /ɑ/), so they do not rhyme with intolerant.
