For me, it's strictly labial /U/, otherwise /V/.  So all but bulb, pulp,
mulct, mulch, pulse, pulley, fulminate, refulgent, *pulsive, and Schultz
(my mother's maiden name, so I pronounce it Germanwise) have /V/.
"Inculcate" for me is /"Ink@lkeit/, so it's out of scope.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
