Rhyming words: pier, tier, near, and fear end with the same stressed vowel and following /r/ as the final syllable of premier (/prɛˈmɪr/). Note that pier and tier also share the spelling ending -ier. Beware lookalikes: premium (/ˈpriːmiəm/) shares the prefix prem-, and fierce (/fɪrs/) has -ier, but neither rhymes with premier.
