''duh'' and ''huh''

Do ''duh'' and ''huh'' rhyme for you? Dictionaries say that they do, but I don't pronounce them to rhyme and have never heard anyone rhyme them. Here's how I pronounce them:

duh - /dV/

huh - /hV~/

They usually rhyme for me, but this depends on the stress I put on "duh".

Well, they don't rhyme for me.

I wonder -- is there confusion here between huh (which would rhyme with duh), and hunh, which has a nasal quality to it (and doesn't rhyme)?

They wouldn't rhyme for me. "Duh" would be pronounced exactly as spelled, but "huh" is just a nasal grunt.
