Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound match: sonic /ˈsɑnɪk/ begins with the same stressed syllable /sɑn/ as sonorous, but its rhyme does not match. Careful with lookalikes: sonar /ˈsoʊnɑr/ and sonata /səˈnɑtə/ share the spelling 'son' but have different vowel sounds. Vigorous /ˈvɪɡərəs/, glamorous /ˈɡlæmərəs/, and humorous /ˈhjuːmərəs/ share the written ending '-orous' but stress the first syllable and end in /ərəs/, not /nɝəs/. None of these words is a true rhyme of sonorous /ˈsɑnɝəs/.
