llama 双写 l，像美洲驼的长脖子；它没有驼峰，别与 camel（骆驼）混淆。lama（喇嘛）少一个 l，别写混。

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes with llama: drama, comma, lama, and pajama all end with the stressed /ɑmə/ sound (note comma’s spelling is -omma, not -ama). Lama is a homophone spelled with one l. Beware the lookalike llano (/ˈlɑnoʊ/), which starts with ll and ends in -ano, not -ama, so it does not rhyme.
