These words share the spelling 'lect' or '-tern' with lectern. 'lecture', 'electric' and 'select' have the same /lɛk/ sound at the start of a stressed syllable; 'pattern', 'western' and 'eastern' end in the same unstressed /tɚn/ sound as lectern. None of them fully rhymes with lectern because its stress is on the first syllable. Beware lookalikes like 'turn' /tɝn/ and 'learn' /lɝn/, which sound like the final '-tern' but have different spellings.
