3. -ɑː-
4. -ɑːf

Pronunciation

-äf, /-ɑːf/, /-A:f/

Notes

1. Most of these words are pronounced with /ɑːf/ only in accents with the w:trap-bath split, and are rhymes for words ending in -æf in accents without the split. These words are noted as (t-b split). However, some words are pronounced with /ɑːf/ in all accents of England and Wales, including those that lack the trap-bath split. These are marked including t-b unsplit England & Wales and are therefore not rhymes for the other words on this page in English and Welsh accents without the trap-bath split.
2. In non-rhotic accents, words ending in /-ɑː(r)f/ are rhymes for words on this page, with the above caveat about the trap-bath split.
3. In accents with th-fronting, words ending in -ɑːθ are also rhymes for words on this page, with the above caveat about the trap-bath split.
