@david_chisnall Well, there’s also café and fête (clearly showing that it is pronounced fête and not “féte”!), just for starters, but it could be argued that these are borrowings from other languages and perhaps not entirely English words…

@davecykl @david_chisnall The ê has nothing to do with pronunciation anyway. It's only put onto vowels that were followed by an S in ancient French but aren't anymore today. Like hôtel. The German word "Fest" still has that S.

Does English have any words at all that aren't stolen from Latin, French or German...?
