mt ending

What word in the English language ends in 'mt'?

I totally cheated:

----------------------------
rasam:~ eeverman$ grep -w .*mt$ /usr/share/dict/words
adreamt
amt
dreamt
undreamt
----------------------------

amt is an acronym (Alt Min Tax), so I guess that leaves dreamt. I would have thought that ended with a 'p' somehow - it doesn't quite seem possible to say the 'mt' ending w/o a 'p' sound.

Dreamt is it. I like the command line quote!
