Pronunciation & Spelling
These words end with -ling but have different vowel sounds or consonant clusters, so they do not perfectly rhyme with 'sparkling' (/ˈspɑːrklɪŋ/). For example, 'dazzling' (/ˈdæzlɪŋ/) and 'twinkling' (/ˈtwɪŋklɪŋ/) have different stressed vowels. 'Startling' (/ˈstɑːrtlɪŋ/) shares the same stressed vowel /ɑːr/ but has a different ending cluster (/tlɪŋ/ vs /klɪŋ/).
