I think 'brooch' is the only English word in which 'oo' makes an 'oa' sound as in 'oats'. I can't think of any others. Are there any others?

@MarkAsser I pronounce that to rhyme with spoon.

@ephemeromorph Maroon, meaning to strand or abandon, rhymes with spoon. Maroon, the colour, has the 'oo' sound of brooch.
