Consummate is pronounced /kon-syuu-mayt/ as a verb, e.g. the marriage was never consummated. As an adjective meaning ‘complete, perfect’, e.g. a consummate liar; consummate elegance it is traditionally pronounced /kun-sum-uht/, with the stress on the second syllable, but the pronunciation /kon-syuu-muht/, with the stress on the first syllable, is equally correct.
