Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound match: the unstressed final segment /təri/ matches in BrE pronunciations of 'momentary' /ˈməʊməntəri/ (and, with /-teri/, AmE 'secretary' /ˈsekrəteri/), but because the stressed vowels differ, none of these words is a perfect rhyme. Lookalikes to beware of: 'salary' /ˈsæləri/ and 'salutation' /ˌsæljuˈteɪʃən/ share the start /sæl/ but not the end; 'salute' /səˈluːt/ changes the vowel to /ə/ and is not pronounced like 'salutary'.
