发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the suffix '-gate', but none perfectly rhyme with 'propagate' (/ˈprɒpəɡeɪt/). Only 'congregate' has the same stressed vowel /ɒ/, yet the consonants after the vowel differ ( /ŋɡrɪɡeɪt/ vs /pəɡeɪt/). The others have distinct stressed vowels: investigate /e/, navigate /æ/, delegate /e/, irrigate /ɪ/, mitigate /ɪ/. Use these words for spelling pattern comparison, but be aware of pronunciation differences.
