Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the stressed vowel /ɪ/ and the ending /ʃən/ from the suffix -ition, making them perfect rhymes with 'proposition' (/prɑpəzɪʃən/). However, note that words ending in -ition may have different stress patterns; all listed here are stressed on the syllable immediately before -ition. Beware of lookalikes like 'proposal' (/prəˈpoʊzəl/) which sounds completely different.
