Pronunciation & Spelling
In the given pronunciation /ˈliniəli/, there are no common exact rhymes. Similarly, particularly, and regularly share the spelling ending -arly, but they are pronounced with /ələli/ (or /ələrli/ in rhotic accents), not /iəli/. Ideally and really end in -ly with a similar /li/ sound, but their vowels and syllable structures differ, so they do not rhyme either. Do not judge the sound from the spelling.
