Gheighgher

If you like that one, figure this one out:

Ghoughphtheightteeau

I know that the second one is

potato (but I forget how to derive the “p”)

And then there’s always “ghoti,” which one of the English profs at my alma mater used to have on his vanity plate. I was jealous (even though I didn’t have a car at the time).

Edited to add: Ooh! Ooh! Is the first one

heifer?

Is ‘gheighgher’ paper?

“gh” as /p/ is from hiccough.
