That's a little bit cheating, you're adding silent consonants to the vowel when they're not pronounced at all.

I could say that in Russian the sound [о] can be spelled ол as in солнце, but that would be bullshit. Russian is a largely phonetic language, it's just that consonant clusters get simplified in pronunciation.

Funny how half of your list are also French words
