Okay, if you don't like "gaol", then contemplate "through" /Tru/, "though" /Do/, "rough" /rVf/, "cough" /kO:f/, "bough" /bau/, "furlough" /fVrlo/, "borough" /bOr@ ~ bOro/, "hough" /h0k ~ hak/, and "hiccough" /hIk@p/. The last two are probably singletons. -- John Cowan http://www.reutershealth.com jcowan@reutershealth.com Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis vom dies! / Schliess eurer Aug vor heiliger Schau Den er genoss vom Honig-Tau / Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
