English orthography (spelling) is notoriously inconsistent and frustrating for English-learners. It seems that words that sound alike or rhyme should be spelled the same. The reason why cable and label are not spelled similarly is that their origins or derivations are different. They both come from Anglo-French, but cable came from cable whereas label came from labelle.
