A silent I occurs in vowel pairs in these words:
- In AI words-- bail, pail, tail, lain, pain, bait, aileron, maize
- In EI and IE words -- deceive, believe, receive, retrieve
- In IO words -- fashion, cushion
- In UI words -- juice, sluice, suit
As with the E-ON (UN) of fashion, the I is also technically silent in -TION words, where it gives the T an SH sound.
Examples: action, ignition, definition
A rare "true" silent I is seen in the word "business". In most, if not all, dialects, the I is simply ignored.
