Then there is "suite".
suite - usually pronounced "sweet" but pronounced "soot" by some.
n.
5Fr: see SUIT6
1 a group of attendants or servants; train; retinue; staff
2 a set or series of related things; specif., a) a group of connected rooms used as a unit, such as an apartment b) a set of pieces of matched furniture for a given room !a
Then there is "pursuit" My dictionary does not say so, but
it seems possible it is related to French "poursuivre"
I confess to mocking a boyhood friend who pronounced it
"perswit". So many traps for the consistent.
