Different transcriptions for words with related origin


Sometimes, a single foreign word or etymologically related words from
different dialects/related languages is/are incorporated into Japanese with
different transcriptions/pronouncations and often different meanings. The most
obvious and systematic ones are the different on-yomi's assigned to a single
kanji, which came from different ancient dialects of Chinese.

> 明 (みん, めい, みょう)

Besides kanji, there are some with gairaigo:

> ガラス < glas (Dutch) 'glass, glass window'  
>  グラス < glass (English) 'glass cup'
>
> コップ < kop (Dutch) 'cup'  
>  カップ < cup (English) 'trophy cup'

Are there any other examples of gairaigo groups like this?

I would like to exclude those that are due to 平板化 (deaccentation) such as the
following:

> クラブ (KUrabu) < club (English) 'club activities before/after school'  
>  クラブ (kuRABU) < id. 'host(ess) club'
>
> ゲーム (GEemu) < game (English) 'game'  
>  ゲーム (geEMU) < id. 'video game'




Here are a few:

  * truck → トロッコ (on rails), トラック (lorry)
  * English → イギリス (via Portuguese "Inglez"), イングリッシュ
  * letter → レッテル ("label", via Dutch), レター (letter, e.g. love letter)
  * gear → ギヤ (gear, mechanical), ギア (gear = equipment [and less often, mechanical gear])
  * chocolat(e) → ショコラ (via French), チョコレート (via English)
  * curry → カレー, カリー
