Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word shares the full rhyme /ænɪtəri/. The sanit- words (sanity, sanitize, sanitation) match only the opening /sænɪ/ and diverge at /t/; the -ary lookalikes (necessary, secretary, dictionary) have different stressed vowels and endings, so don't copy their vowel sounds.
