Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word rhymes exactly with tripoli (stress on the first syllable: /ˈtripəli/). Among spelling lookalikes, trip and triple begin like the 'tri' in tripoli, but tripod says /traɪ/. The words politics, police, and metropolis contain the letters 'poli' but have different vowels and stress, so they are spelling matches, not sound matches.
