Imperare - to rule, to reign, to command. Latin. Takes the ablative and gives rise to the noun "imperator", meaning emperor.

猫 (māo)
'cat', Mandarin
I always found it funny that the Mandarin word for "cat" is something a cat could actually pronounce.

Since L was missed out, I'll provide two.
llamarse - to be called, Spanish. (Assuming that you consider L and ll to be separate letters, which apparently everyone does now, although that didn't use to be the case)
Novare - Latin
novare can mean "renew" or "change".
novare res - to effect a revolution.
novare vocabulum - to coin a word.
