All listed words end in the same transparent spelling chunk -ship and share the final /ʃɪp/ sound with premiership. Leadership, ownership, and partnership also have the /ərʃɪp/ ending, which comes close to the /iərʃɪp/ pronunciation in some forms of premiership, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not perfect rhymes. Do not confuse premiership with the similar-looking premier or premiere, which are different words without the -ship ending.
