All the words above end in the spelling chunk -line and are pronounced with final /laɪn/, matching the second syllable of 'skyline' (/ˈskaɪˌlaɪn/). Be careful: although 'sign' and 'design' have a similar spelling, they are pronounced /saɪn/ and /dɪˈzaɪn/ with no /l/ sound; and words such as 'linen' (/ˈlɪnɪn/) contain 'line' only in spelling, not sound.
