Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the spelling suffix '-ute' but do not rhyme with 'prosecute' due to different stressed vowels. 'execute' and 'persecute' share the '-cute' suffix pronounced /kjuːt/, while 'dilute', 'pollute', and 'salute' share '-lute' pronounced /luːt/. 'minute' (adjective) ends with /njuːt/. None have the same stressed vowel as 'prosecute' (/prɒsɪkjuːt/ or /prɑːsəkjuːt/).
