Pronunciation & Spelling
No words here rhyme with 'lucrative' (ˈluːkrətɪv) because its stressed vowel /uː/ and following sounds are unique. The common '-ative' ending appears in 'creative', 'native', 'relative', and 'negative', but their vowel is /eɪ/ or /ɛ/ and stress differs. 'Positive' ends in '-itive' and 'active' in '-ive', with different vowels. These are spelling lookalikes only.
