Is there a name for words following this pattern? @fumblefingers, is there a difference between the way you say "biz" in bizarre and "biz" in business? There is for me, even though I think that the 'i' sound in business is the same as in sit, big, etc. "Biz" in bizarre is more of a "B" with my mouth moving as if to say "i" afterward but without actually putting any air into it, whereas "biz" in business is clearly "bizz" with a voiced i. ... When I am enunciating carefully, I probably do say "biz-Zahr", but in normal speech, that 'i' is all but imperceptible. |

Is there a name for words following this pattern? Personally I pronounce bazaar as "buh-Zahr" and bizarre as b'-Zahr", where the "b'" is said with kind of a mostly-unvoiced "i". They're very close, but not quite the same. |
