1、sp- 一带多是"尖、伸出"：spear（长矛）、spike（尖钉）、spine（脊柱）、spire（塔尖）全同源，画面就是"一根尖东西支出去"。
2、spear 还能当动词：用矛去戳（spear a fish 叉鱼）。名词 spear tip（矛尖）、spear thrower（投矛器，thrower 就是"投出去的那件东西"）。
3、易混三个：sphere（球、球体）多个 h，读音 /sfɪər/；shear（剪）和 share（分享）没有 spear 这种"尖"义；spar（船上桅杆、拳台上的陪练对打）同根但常用在船上和拳台上。读 /spɪə/（英）／/spɪr/（美），ear 念"伊尔"。
