word ending in sth

[mollykins]

What words in the english language, that aren't proper nouns, end in 'sth' ?

[bednobs]

musth

[snags]

Sweetcornsth...

Musth is the only one.

[mollykins]

Thanks bednobs. It's easy to look up words that begin a certain way but it's ahrd to find words that end in certain letters, if you don't already know them.

. . . . I've just looked it up [raises one eyebrow, lowers the other] . . . .

[jno]

and even that is oftens spelt must, probably because sth is hard to pronounce.

[mollykins]

How do you pronounce it?

[jno]

like it looks, but it's not easy to move your tongue around to produce a th sound straight after an s. So it usually comes out the same as must.

[mollykins]

Do you have to try and bring your tongue up to your front teeth then straight back down? It just sounds like I have a lisp when I try.

[jno]

actually, no, I'm wrong, the dictionary says it is just pronounced must. I've heard Indian people say it more like musth, but perhaps that was just their accent.

[RATTER15]

I'm amazed that there are so few words in the English language beginning MAF...........

[mollykins]

ok Juno.

I can only think of mafia, ratter.

[mike11111]

And mafia is Italian. The only English words are maffick and maffled.

[loobylou]

Mafted

[AlBags]

I'll have some of what you're on Molly : )
