⟨eir⟩
From Teflpedia
⟨eir⟩ is a vowel trigraph that occurs in English consisting of E+I+R.
This occurs in a few words:
- heir, their - belong to the ꜱǫᴜᴀʀᴇ lexical set and code for the ꜱǫᴜᴀʀᴇ vowel phoneme.
- Deirdre, Keir, Madeira, weir, weird - belong to the ɴᴇᴀʀ lexical set and code for the ɴᴇᴀʀ vowel phoneme.
English speakers with rhotic accents always pronounce the final /r/; those with non‑rhotic accents pronounce the final R only as a linking /r/.
