All these words share the written ending -ibly, and each ends with the unstressed sound /əbli/, matching the final syllable of irresistibly /ˌɪrɪˈzɪstəblɪ/. None, however, fully rhymes with irresistibly because their stressed vowels and following consonants differ: for example, possibly /ˈpɒsəbli/ has /ˈpɒ/, while irresistibly has /ˈzɪstə/. Do not pronounce the i before b as a separate vowel in this suffix.
