Pronunciation & Spelling
All these words end with -mit, but their pronunciations differ: summit (/ˈsʌmɪt/) and limit (/ˈlɪmɪt/) share first-syllable stress but have different vowels (/ʌ/ vs /ɪ/); the others (commit, admit, permit, submit, remit) have second-syllable stress and vowel /ɪ/. Thus, they are lookalikes in spelling but do not rhyme.
