发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All listed words share the -ily spelling ending and are pronounced with a final /ɪli/, but none has the same stressed vowel and coda as shakily /ˈʃeɪkɪli/, so none rhymes with it. Shakily would rhyme with rare -kily adverbs such as flakily /ˈfleɪkɪli/ and snakily /ˈsneɪkɪli/. Beware the lookalike shaky /ˈʃeɪki/, which is an adjective, not an adverb.
