Sorry to all those saying "salve" and "halve" (and one could add "calve") -- in these words the "L" is silent!
Thus for "valve" there is no PERFECT rhyme (defined as using exactly the same sounds from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word).
The best you can do is a NEAR rhyme in which most of the sounds match, with as few sounds changed as possible, and the 'substitutes' matching as closely as possible. These COULD include dropping the L altogether, but I'm not so sure that "salve", etc. work very well
Varying the vowel:
delve, elve [from a scientific acronym], helve ("handle of a tool such as an ax"), shelve, swelve ('to swallow'), twelve
revolve, solve
Varying the final consonant (and possibly the vowel)
The closest match would be changing /v/ to /f/, but these words, again, mostly have a silent L (half, calf, ). The only exception? The name "Ralph"
also changing the vowel: elf, shelf (but the -v forms are better matches)
a voiced /th/ (as in "this" NOT "thin") is fairly close to the /v/ sound -- as a result "mouth" (the verb form) might work.
(why does "mouth" work better than "salve"? Perhaps because the "ow" sound is closer to the "al" of "valve" than to the short-a of "salve", "cat", etc.)
"health" and "wealth" --with a changed vowel and un-voiced /th/ is little tougher, but maybe. . .
