Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the '-able' ending but have different stress patterns. 'Notable' stresses the first syllable (/ˈnoʊtəbəl/), while 'comfortable', 'reasonable', 'valuable', and 'memorable' also stress the first syllable but with different vowels; 'predictable' and 'available' stress the second syllable. None rhyme exactly with 'notable' due to differences in stressed vowel or syllable position, but they are useful spelling comparisons.
