Pronunciation & Spelling
Only repentant (/rɪˈpɛntənt/) rhymes with unrepentant (/ˌʌnrɪˈpɛntənt/), matching the stressed -pentant. Penitent (/ˈpɛnɪtənt/) looks similar but does not rhyme because of its extra /ɪ/. Unpleasant and unrelenting share only the un-/unre- prefix and differ in stress and vowel sounds.
