Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -land share the same spelling suffix but have different stressed vowels (e.g., /eɪ/ in mainland, /aɪ/ in island and highland, /oʊ/ in lowland, /ɑː/ in farmland, /ʊ/ in woodland, /æ/ in grassland). None of these common -land words rhyme with mainland because the stressed vowel and following sounds do not match.
