发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all share the final unstressed suffix /təri/ and the spelling ending -tory with migratory. They are not full rhymes because migratory stresses /maɪ/ and has a different stressed syllable. Beware lookalikes such as laboratory (/ləˈbɒrətri/) and observatory (/əbˈzɜːvətri/), which often reduce the suffix to /tri/, so they do not match the /təri/ sound.
