scii
'to know', Esperanto
IMO, the worst-chosen word of the language. The 'sts-' consonant cluster is very
difficult for speakers of most languages, and this is an extremely frequent word.

Trümmer (pl) - rubble, German
Under no circumstances does this word ever mean "tremors" -
das Zittern means tremors as in hands shaking, and "leichtes Erdbeben" means tremors from an earthquake.

xa - whenever (isixhosa)
written with a x, but pronounced with a click... so it's click-a
in all honest x doesn't come quite as close to the sound
