发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words share the final unstressed syllable /ənt/ with 'mutant' (spelled '-ant'), so the endings sound alike, but none is a perfect rhyme because the stressed vowel differs. Beware the lookalike 'mutate' /ˈmjuːteɪt/ and 'mutation' /mjuˈteɪʃən/, which start with the same 'mut-' but end in /eɪt/ or /eɪʃən/, not /ənt/.
