Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes exactly with muscat (/ˈmʌskət/). Musk (/mʌsk/) and musket (/ˈmʌskɪt/) share its beginning and the stressed /ʌ/; muster (/ˈmʌstər/) shares the first syllable. Beware lookalikes: cat (/kæt/) looks like the final spelling 'cat' but has a different vowel, and muscle (/ˈmʌsəl/) spells 'sc' but says /s/, not /sk/. Disc (/dɪsk/) is a good example of 'sc' = /sk/.
