发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These all share the spelling ending -id and the final /ɪd/ sound; rigid and frigid, like turgid, end in /dʒɪd/. However, none rhymes with turgid, because turgid's stressed vowel is /ɜː/ (or /ɜr/), while these have /ɪ/, /e/, /iː/. Watch out for turbid: it looks similar to turgid but has /bɪd/ instead of /dʒɪd/.
