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!
