Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes with the stressed part tooth /tuːθ/: booth /buːθ/ and truth /truːθ/. Note that brush and hush are spelling lookalikes (the -ush ending) but are pronounced /ʌʃ/, so they do not rhyme with the unstressed final syllable /brəʃ/ of toothbrush. Smooth also looks like a rhyme for -ooth but ends in /ð/, not /θ/.
