Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the common spelling ending '-ar', but note that the stressed vowel in 'vulgar' (/ʌ/) differs from these examples (all have /ɑ/ or /ɛ/ or /ɪ/ or /ɛ/), so they do not rhyme perfectly. However, the suffix '-ar' is pronounced similarly as unstressed /ər/ in all cases.
