Do you know any other words in English apart from “hour” and “heir” which start with a mute “h”?

    d’après mon dico phonétique, uniquement honor, honest, hostler, et les mots qui en dérivent
    bien sûr.

    For example, the words heir, honour, honest, and hour have preserved the letter “h” from
    French, but not the sound.
