Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words is a true rhyme with voluptuous /vəˈlʌptʃəwəs/. Sumptuous /ˈsʌmptʃuəs/ and presumptuous /prɪˈzʌmptʃuəs/ share the spelling -ptuous and the stressed vowel /ʌ/, but the extra /m/ before /ptʃ/ makes them imperfect. Impetuous and tempestuous look alike but have different stressed vowels. Continuous and ambiguous end in -uous yet are pronounced with /juəs/, not /tʃəwəs/; do not rhyme by spelling.
