发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -ary such as library, primary, necessary, and ordinary share the final /əri/ sound of reliquary. Antiquary is a close match because it also ends in -quary and has the same /kwəri/ final sound. Be careful with quarry: it looks similar but is pronounced /ˈkwɒri/, with a different vowel sound.
