The English word where 'gh' sounds like 'p' is "hiccough," which is an alternative spelling of "hiccup." The 'gh' in "hiccough" is pronounced like the 'p' sound due to historical changes in the English language. This pronunciation is a result of the evolution of the word from its Middle English origins.

What words starting with gh sound like f Example Ghoti is supposedly pronounced Fish Are there any other words that follow that example?

The 'Ghoti' word is an artificially constructed word used to display pronunciation irregularities. You pronounce the 'gh' in 'rough' as 'f' You pronounce the 'o' in 'women' as 'i' You pronounce the 'ti' in 'nation' as 'sh' Put those together, and you write 'ghoti' but pronounce it as 'fish'. It is not a 'real' word as such and the 'gh' as 'f' does not appear at the beginning of any real word either. However another construct similar to the above is 'Ghoughpteighbteau', pronounced 'Potato'.
