Can anybody help with a particular word that's described below.

Cheers,  jenstar.  Another string for my bow.

Far from there being only one, here are another ten...begin = start/Begin (Bayg-in) an exPrime Minister of Israel; degas = remove gas from/Degas (Day-ga) a French artist; forget = not remember/Forget (Forjay) a French tennis player; job = work/Job (Jobe) a biblical character; mobile = moveable/Mobile (Mobeel) a city in the USA; nice = pleasant/Nice (Neese) a French city; ravel = muss up/Ravel a composer; reading = studying a book/Reading an English city; levy = tax/Levy (Leavy) a Jewish surname and millet = grain/Millet (Mee-ay) a French artist.

There  are probably stacks more!
