There's my name, for a start... (Tim-o-thee not Tim-o-thigh) words ending in -ty (twenty, thirty, forty etc) other words ending -ty (nasty, chastity, charity, hearty, party) words ending in -ly (mainly, narrowly, regularly, hourly, monthly) words ending in -ny (any, many, penny)

On Pavis - I usually say PAY-vis (which means it's probably PAH-vis), but I have also heard it rhymed with Paris - that is to say PA-vee
