I definitely pronounce the first "e" in "better" differently to the
second "e", so I'm not sure this works for me at all. Took me some
time to stop pronouncing "er" in lojban words as "yr", as this is how
I normally pronounce it in English. I agree with Luke that it should
rhyme with air (or mostly rhyme), at least in my dialect.
