发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
True rhymes for sinewy (/ˈsɪnjuːi/) are rare. Its base sinew (/ˈsɪnjuː/) is the closest sound match but drops the final /i/, so it is not a true rhyme. New (/njuː/) contains the same spelling chunk and pronunciation as the middle of sinewy. Menu (/ˈmenjuː/), continue (/kənˈtɪnjuː/), and view (/vjuː/) all end in /juː/, but they are not rhymes because the stress pattern or final /i/ differs. Watch the spelling: gluey (/ˈɡluːi/) looks similar in print to sinewy’s ending but has no /j/ glide.
