Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes fully with 'marksman' (/ˈmɑrksmən/) because the stressed vowels differ. The first five (sportsman, craftsman, statesman, huntsman, yachtsman) share the same final unstressed sequence /smən/, spelled -sman. Beware the lookalike 'oarsman': its spelling ends in -sman, but it is pronounced /ˈɔrzmən/, with /rzmən/ rather than /smən/.
