(gulf rhymes with engulf, as in: "The fire engulfed the room")
golf

monster
month—disputed; some claim that oneth is a word, by analogy with second, third, while others note that the logical analogy is with "twoth" and "threeth". The mathematical expression "n+1th" is one place where this rhyme can be used. Also, millionth, billionth etc. The word Grunth, (alternative spelling to Granth) the name of the sacred scripture of the Sikhs, also rhymes.
mulcts
