Pronunciation & Spelling
The words above all end with the spelling 'son', but their pronunciation typically ends with /sən/ or /zən/ (schwa sound). In 'liaison', the final syllable is /zɑn/ with an open 'a' sound, so they do not rhyme. However, they are useful for comparing spelling patterns. Note that words like 'reason' and 'season' share the /zən/ ending, which is similar but not identical to /zɑn/.
