Extra syllable count with "er"

[niazieo]

[niazieo]

Upon further inspection,

• Minimum 3 characters
• "er" must come after a vowel
• "er" must be at the end of the word
• Adding an "s" to make it plural maintains the extra syllable count
• Without the "r" following "e", the syllable count is fine.

Essentially, having "er" triggers an additional syllable count, regardless of whether it is plural or not.

Examples:

Without the "er":

|

With the "er":

Both "tier" and "eer" should be 1 syllable each. I initially wanted to make an issue for "volunteer" since it was being counted as 4 syllables rather than 3 but then I discovered this instead.

tier and eer are not english words, they are hypotheticals?

I am afraid I dont understand what you mean by "hypotheticals".

Tier is an english word according to Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, and Collins.

But yes, I agree that eer is not an english word. I was using it similar to how mmmm was used in line 34 of test/index.js 😅.

However:

• Volunteer (Merriem-Webster, Cambridge, Collins) should be 3, not 4. This seems to be the case with most things ending in eer.
• Chocolatier (Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, Collins) should be 4, not 5. This seems to be the case with most things ending in ier.
