Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the -ense ending but are not true rhymes with 'nonsense' (/nɑnsɛns/) because the primary stress in 'nonsense' is on the first syllable, whereas these words are either monosyllabic with stressed /ɛns/ or have stress on the -ense syllable. Nonetheless, the /sɛns/ sound appears in the unstressed second syllable of 'nonsense'.
