      Hi Lenny/Meg, I don’t think there are any other words like these, and their spelling is best explained via their morphemes: oft-often, soft-soften, but nowadays most people with Australian accents don’t say the /t/, except when speaking very formally.

        softly in an informal Australian accent.
        And this site is very far from useless, and anyone who thinks so has, in all probability, done nothing close to the level of effort you’ve obviously put in here, over many years, and *they* need help!
