I found a few missing & added R’s, but I need your help! American English has lost & gained R’s over the years, so I know more are lurking in dictionaries. (I am supposed to be cousin to Daniel Webster, so maybe it runs in the family) Anyone who submits an R word gets an Atta boy/Atta girl from me.
Gained an R:
Tomato>mater
Potato>tater
Oil> Erl (in the mountains)
Lost R’s:
Banjar>banjo
Curse>cuss
Booger>boogie
Arse>ass
Ornery>onry
Curse>cuss
Burst>bust
Lord>lawd
Wriggle>wiggle
Warsh>wash
Racoon>coon
