Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes fully with 'pirate'. 'pilot' is the closest but differs in the consonant /l/ vs /r/. 'private' and 'climate' share the final unstressed /ət/ but have different consonants after the diphthong. 'gyrate' and 'separate' are lookalikes that end in '-rate' but sound different: 'gyrate' ends in /reɪt/, and 'separate' (adj.) has the stress on the first syllable with /e/, not /aɪ/. 'spirit' contains the spelling 'ir' but is pronounced with /ɪ/, not /aɪ/.
