Salamander footwear: newt boot. A woodsman's musical instrument: root flute. Unable to enjoy one's unearned spoils: moot loot. Idea of liquid: drink think. Water out of cartography: map tap. Fruit recording: grape tape.
I assume that hrafn is from that part of the country where root and soot rhyme. This didn't bother me when I was there, except during math class. "&sqrt; 3" does not rhyme with "foot glee" in my dialect.
In my dialect, root and soot don't rhyme (Just as well, I suppose, since I can't seem to come up with anything that ends up with root soot, or soot root.).
Yes - "root" and "soot" rhyme, and "roof" has pretty much the same "oo" sound. I grew up in eastern Oregon, but my parents are from northwestern Minnesota (Mom) and Chicago/LA (Dad moved to LA at 14).
