Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word is an exact rhyme: rambunctious stresses /ˈbʌŋkʃəs/. Anxious (/ˈæŋkʃəs/) matches the /ŋkʃəs/ ending but has a different stressed vowel. Junction and compunction match the sequence /ʌŋkʃ/ before a final syllable, but their stress differs (junction on the first syllable; compunction on the second, ending in /ən/). Unctuous looks similar but is pronounced /ˈʌŋktʃuəs/, not /ʌŋkʃəs/. Bunch and bunk illustrate why the spelling 'bunc' is misleading: bunch has /ntʃ/, while rambunctious has /ŋk/.
