-ouər, /-aʊər/, /-aU@r/

Notes

edit
  1. The OED, MW, and other dictionaries distinguish this monosyllabic rhyme from disyllabic /-aʊ.ə(ɹ)/ by the absence of a stress mark; that does not mean that these words do not have stress.
  2. In accents with glide weakening or triphthong smoothing, words ending in /-ɑː(ɹ)/, /-ɑː/, and /-æ/ may also be rhymes for words on this page.
