发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with suppleness /ˈsʌplnɪs/; they are spelling lookalikes sharing the suffix -ness. Their stressed vowels differ (softness /ɒ/, brightness /aɪ/, happiness /æ/, ugliness /ʌ/, weakness /iː/). Even ugliness, which has the same stressed vowel /ʌ/, has different consonants after it, so it does not rhyme. Do not infer the pronunciation from the spelling.
