One-Syllable Words with No Rhymes

Can you name the one-syllable English words that have no perfect rhymes, when given their definition?

Including abbreviations and slang words

Rhymes with proper nouns are not considered

Many words have different pronunciations depending on culture or accent. This list only includes words that never rhyme, although others are grayed out.

Wikipedia lists "dumbth" as a word with no rhymes. I have yet to find an actual dictionary that includes it, so it is not in this quiz.
