Pronunciation & Spelling
Only the unstressed final /-nəs/ is shared; none of these rhymes with /priˈpɛrədnəs/. Awareness is the closest, with the same stressed /ɛr/ and final /nəs/ but without the extra /əd/ syllable. Witness and business are spelling lookalikes: witness is not formed from wit + -ness, and business is pronounced /ˈbɪznəs/.
