i'd like to know some words (X, Y) in French, German, Spanish...

such that X and Y are pronounced exactly the same,

but X and Y share no letter in common (or look very different)

laughter and slaughter --- they look so similar but pronounced so differently.

In "American English", here are some homophone pairs that do not share
any letters:

I - eye
oh - eau (a word adopted from French)
you - ewe

(IOU)
