Words ending in -ty (like 'liberty', 'property') rhyme with 'poverty' because they share the same /-ərti/ ending in rhotic English. However, many other -ty words like 'dignity' (/ˈdɪɡnəti/), 'safety' (/ˈseɪfti/), 'beauty' (/ˈbjuːti/), and 'honesty' (/ˈɑːnəsti/) have different sounds and do not rhyme.
