        Now I personally don’t know those but I’m sure there are still some weird words that are spelled in an unexpected way, especially if we include words that originated from other languages.

          scale -> skala

          buisness -> biznis
          display -> displej

          eins -> anjs
          anlasser -> anlaser
          ziegel -> cigla
          ziehverschluss -> cifersluš

          böbrek -> bubreg
          yastık-> jastuk

          reggipetto -> ređipet
          scatola -> škatola
