bishop

[petegray]

There was discussion a while ago of the word "bishop", coming from Greek
episkopos.    I think it was Piotr who said the loss of the initial vowel
was not an issue, but the voicing of the "p" was uncommon.  (Pardon me if
I've mis-remembered who it was!)

It occurred to me that there is another example in the Italian bottega,
Spanish (whence English) bodega, meaning shop or inn, from the Greek
apotheke.
