Apparently, you've managed to escape getting a "purple-nurple". :biggrin:

dreamt would rhyme with kempt, more commonly unkempt.

Pilot rhymes with violet.

Since we've found rhymes for orange, violet and dreamt, that leaves only month and purple.

Did we find a rhyme for silver?

What does this rhyme with? Orange? Not a rhyme in my books. Needs to have rhyme the final syllable, not just the final phoneme.

Lounge was to rhyme with scrounge.

How about "barf". Oh, that rhymes with "snarf".

Pølse doesn't rhyme with any other Norwegian words, nor with any English, I think. :smile:

What about "følelse", you only need some "godvilje" =D

edit: oooh, I know this happens a lot but I have never seen it 3,141 views!

I don't have any godvilje, so no, følelse doesn't rhyme with pølse (it does rhyme with forkjølelse, though).

Where are causea or gossage in the dictionary?

Gossage is a family name and causea is a genus according to my cheaty googling. I don't know how causea is pronounced though.

No proper names. Gossage is out.

causea is acceptable

And it has to be in a dictionary, and not an urban dictionary.
