Fourteen words hold C second and H third, and they fall into two groups that have nothing to do with each other.
ACHED, ACHES, ECHES and ECHOS all come from two short stems. Together with OCHER and OCHRE they make up the part of this group you might actually use.
SCHWA, SCHMO, SCHUL and SCHAV came into English from German and Yiddish. S opens four of the fourteen, and the SCH shape accounts for every one of them.
SCHWA is the one worth knowing, since it names the unstressed vowel sound that turns up throughout spoken English.
ACHES and ACHED are the two most likely to come up. OCHRE and OCHER are the same colour spelled two ways, and ECHOS is a variant plural of echo.
Both are valid spellings of the same colour and both appear here. OCHRE is the usual British form and OCHER the American one.
A cold sorrel soup from Eastern European cooking. It is the least familiar of these fourteen.
It is the standard written form of a sneeze. Doubled letters are uncommon here, one out of fourteen, and ACHOO supplies it with its double O.
