Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes for /ˈmɑːkwɪs/ are rare; none of the listed words rhymes exactly. The -ess nouns (duchess, countess, baroness, princess) share only the spelling -ess, and their vowels differ. 'quest' /kwest/ resembles the spelling quess but has /e/ and a final /t/; 'quay' /kiː/ is a trap because its 'qu' is pronounced /k/.
