| Sumac is pronounced <SHU/mac>, and <SOO/mac>, with the first pronunciation
of the two listed as the primary...

Depends on the dictionary. The AHD lists "soo-mac" as the primary.

Sure, there are hundreds of them. All the words that end in
-tion; e.g., concentration, station. (You didn't ask for
any particular two-letter combination.)

| ciao
has a "ch" sound
sci in Italian has a "sh" sound.
The only exception I know of is the "ci" combination in "Citibank"
which _should_ properly be pronounced SH.
Thank you.

| re:.5
Yes, I'm aware of that. I was misremembering the question.
I was thinking that the person was asking for any type of
"h" sound where no "h" was present, rather than specifically
for "sh" sounds where no "h" was present.
More:
conscious
conscience
pretension
precession
procession
And others with an "sci" and "si" combination.
And how about others based on "-sure", like "pressure" or "censure"?

| G'day,
Ahhhh he says wondering like and cogitating on his navel like some
sage of yore...
How many of these have developed into a 'sh' sound when _really_
they should not be?
Like I mean 'sure' _ought_ to be 'sssssyor' ie a hiss , a very
short drop into the yuh sound of the 'u' then the ruh sound....
didn't it?
but we being what we are - lazy in speech - sh is easier.
