There are too many of them to be listed here.

A group of them is all English words spelled with ph, instead of f.

See: philosophy, photography, catastrophe, telephone, phrase, phase, epiphany

Another category, is all the words ending in -on and having an irregular plural of -a. Example: phenomenon, phenomena

A third category, is all the sciences ending in -y: biology, geography, astronomy, trigonometry. (Notice that algebradoes not fit - it derives from the Arabic.)
