These words end in -ous or -ious but are pronounced with /əs/, /iəs/ or /ʃəs/. 'mischievous' /ˈmɪstʃəvəs/ has a three-syllable /vəs/ ending. None of these words rhyme exactly with 'mischievous': only 'nervous' shares the final /vəs/ but has a different stressed vowel; 'previous', 'obvious' and 'delicious' add an extra /i/ before the ending; 'vicious' and 'conscious' use /ʃəs/. Beware the common mispronunciation /mɪsˈtʃiːviəs/.
