THERE ARE ONLY FOUR WORDS IN ENG LANGUAGE WHICH ENDS IN "DOUS". THEY ARE ,TREMENDOUS,HORRENDOUS,STUPENDOUS, AND HAZARDOUS.

DREAMT IS THE ONLY ENGLISH WORD THAT ENDS WITH 'MT'.  Are they true?

True courage is not the absence of fear, It is the ability to overcome fear.

1-- According to Oxford online: 

'Tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. Also, the rare zoological word annelidous.'

2-- At least it's the only irregular verb to end so (there is redreamt, but I suppose that is cheating).
