Words that end in if, rf, and lf

There are plenty of words that end with the letter f. Thief, chief, beef, reef, just to name a few. There are far fewer words that end in if, rf and lf. Here are a few that I thought of during a meeting today:

snarf, shelf, elf, self, barf, NERF, calf, alf, smurf, half, turf, surf, coif, and waif.

Again, without using a dictionary, can you help me add some more?

Let's see if a lameness filter catches regex...

perl -e 'while (<>) { if (m/[irl]f$/) { print; } }' /usr/share/dict/american-english
