Thickness, sickness, fitness, and witness all have the same /ˈ...nəs/ rhythm and a stressed /ɪ/, but their consonant clusters before /nəs/ differ (k, k, t, t) from the /f/ in stiffness. Briskness is similar in form but uses /sknəs/. Stifle is a spelling lookalike but sounds completely different: /ˈstaɪfəl/.
