lanceolat is missing its last letter
silent-eThe final e of lanceolate makes no sound of its own. It works at a distance, on the a before the t.

lanceolate ends in a silent e.
Nothing in the sound of the word tells you the e is there. It is not pronounced; its job is to keep the a before it long, so the ending says ayt rather than at. Drop the e and you have written a word that would rhyme with cat.
