"envelop" versus "envelope"(contd)

Tuesday, February 16, 2016
 Yesterday, I spoke on the discrepancy between the words "envelop" and "envelope". Another point I will like to make is that both are not pronounced the same way and even the stress patterns differ. The first syllable of "envelop" is pronounced /in/ while the first syllable of "envelope" is /en/. Again, "envelop" has its stress on the second syllable while "envelope" has its stress on the first syllable. This is crucial to note!
