Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -ithy may or may not rhyme: withy (/ˈwɪði/) rhymes with smithy; pithy (/ˈpɪθi/) is a spelling lookalike but its th is voiceless (/θ/), not the voiced /ð/ of smithy. Smith (/smɪθ/) shares the spelling at the start and is related in meaning, but it is pronounced with voiceless /θ/ and no final /i/, so it does not rhyme.
