davex!you're right!) There are a few similar words: мишень (a target), лишиться (lost), шишка (a cone), but the most incredible word is кишмиш (currants)! Try to write it in cursive))))

This difficulty explains spelling of 'come', 'son' and the like from Old English 'cuman'. 'sunu'. There was never sound [o] pronounced there but the letter 'o' replaced 'u' to avoid confusion.

шить is another good example in cursive :))
