Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhyme with 'prosper' because their stressed vowels differ. All share the spelling chunk 'per' at the end, but their pronunciations vary. For example, 'whisper' has /ɪ/ while 'prosper' has /ɑː/; 'temper' has /e/; 'camper' and 'hamper' have /æ/; 'usurper' has /uːˈzɜːr/ with stress on the second syllable. Only 'proper' has a similar initial stressed vowel /ɑː/, but the consonant cluster after the vowel (p vs sp) prevents a true rhyme.
