Thank you for recording, bferrant and gedv88!

It is amazing that you all distinguish such subtle differences of those pronunciations.
It seems a long way for me to master them. :(

People typically don't pronounce the TH in clothes. It sounds very weird.
tooth teeth
tooth's (NOT the PLURAL FORM. this is a conjunction of TOOTH and IS.
Example ( My tooth's hurting. ) My tooth is hurting.
loath loathes
loaf loaves
moth moths

Added even a few more :) hope this helps.
