Fourth letter in a famous mnemonic (4)

I believe the answer is:

erie

(Other definitions for erie that I've seen before include "The lake sounds weird" , "North american lake sounds spooky" , "Superior companion" , "Lake between Canada and the US" , "Buffalo's lake" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
