    How does zeebra not ryhme with debra already? I mean, I know english pronunciation is put through a random IPA generator before being finalized, but Wiktionary gives the same exact IPA (bɹə) for the -bra part in both words. So shouldn’t they be rhyming then?

      In the U.S., the letter Z is pronounced zee. The rest of the English-speaking world pronounces it zed. Thus the difference.
