I looked the word governance up in dictionary and all dictionaries state its pronunciation is [ˈgʌvənəns]
or [ˈgʌvərnəns]
. However, I have several dictionaries that have audio and I can clearly hear they are actually saying [ˈgʌvərnənts]
. The ending sound is the same as the word its
. Is there a rule for this pronouncing behavior? Thanks.
