Pronunciation & Spelling
The -east words (east, beast, feast, least, southeast) all end with the same stressed vowel and /st/ as northeast, so they rhyme with its -east part. Southeast shares the exact -east ending and also rhymes. Northwest looks similar because of the shared north- prefix, but it ends in /-wɛst/, not /-ist/, so it does not rhyme.
