Pronunciation & Spelling
Jealous and zealous rhyme with each other (/ˈdʒɛləs/, /ˈzɛləs/). Perilous has no exact rhyme here: its stressed vowel is /ɛr/ followed by /ələs/. Beware the -ous lookalikes: dangerous /ˈdeɪndʒərəs/ and treacherous /ˈtretʃərəs/ end in /ərəs/, while fabulous /ˈfæbjələs/ has /jələs/; none matches /ˈpɛrələs/.
