Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like presumptuous, voluptuous, tumultuous and contemptuous share the -uous spelling and a similar final /tʃwəs/ sound, but their stressed vowels and preceding consonants differ, so none of them rhymes with sumptuous. Continuous and conspicuous are spelling lookalikes: their -uous is pronounced /juəs/, which sounds quite different.
