Pronunciation: [lˈa͡ɪ͡ə] (IPA) 
The word "lier" can be a bit confusing to spell because it can refer to two different words with different pronunciations. When pronounced with two syllables (LEE-er), it means a person who lies or deceives others. On the other hand, when pronounced with one syllable (LYER), it refers to a rope or cord used for binding. To spell the word "lier" (LEE-er) in IPA phonetic transcription, it would be /ˈlaɪər/.
The term "lier" refers to an individual characterized by the act or habit of intentionally deceiving others through the utterance of falsehoods or the distortion of facts. A lier is commonly considered a liar, someone who intentionally misrepresents the truth or presents false information with the purpose of misleading others. Liers often engage in dishonesty to gain personal benefits, manipulate circumstances, or avoid consequences.
The behavior of a lier usually involves the creation or promotion of untrue statements, leading others to believe in false premises or circumstances. It is an act of betrayal and breach of trust, as it involves intentionally misleading or deceiving someone who places their faith or reliance on the truthfulness of the liar's words. The motive behind lying varies from individual to individual, and may include the desire for personal gain, the avoidance of punishment, the preservation of reputation, or the manipulation of others for personal or nefarious reasons.
The act of lying represents a breach of ethical standards and is widely considered to be morally wrong or socially unacceptable in most cultures. Given its negative connotation, individuals who exhibit such behavior are generally viewed as untrustworthy and may find it challenging to maintain healthy relationships or establish credibility within their communities. It is important to always be wary of liers and their deceitful actions, and to approach any suspicious information with a critical and discerning mindset.
One who rests or remains; to lie at any one's mercy, to depend upon; to lie at any one's door, to be imputable to any one; to lie at the heart, to be fixed in the mind, as an object of affection or of deep anxiety or concern; to lie by, to be remaining with; to rest; to lie down, to dispose one's self for rest; to sink into the grave; to lie in, to be in childbed; to lie in one, to be in the power of; to lie in the way, to be an impediment; to be in one's power, as, if it lies in my way; to lie in wait, to watch for an opportunity to attack or seize; to lie on or upon, to be a matter of obligation or duty; to lie on hand, to remain in possession without occasion for use; to lie on the hands, to remain unoccupied or unemployed; to lie on any one's head, to be imputable to any one; to lie over, to remain unpaid; to be deferred to some future occasion; to lie to, to have progress checked, as a ship; to lie under, to suffer; to be oppressed by; to lie under arms, in mil., to be in a state prepared for immediate action; to lie with, to sleep with; to have carnal knowledge of; to belong to. Note.-lie and lay-there seems to be an increasing tendency to confound these two verbs in their present and past tenses even among respectable writers. The error is a gross one, and ought to be carefully avoided. Lie is intransitive-that is, it cannot, as a rule, admit of an object after it without the intervention of a preposition. We say lie, v., lay, pt., laid, pp.; on the other hand lay is transitive-that is, it can admit of an object after it.
