I look at it this way, without the “L” you know how the word is pronounced, so adding the “L” shouldn’t change things.

Actually if English was a real language, fluke as in fish fin should be spelled flewk, no?

No.

It’s spelled ‘Fluke’ because English is a real language with centuries of history, not a made-up phonetic jumble crapped out by a denatured school system.

fluke(the fish, the whale tail, the parasite) is pronounced flewk.

so if the parasite fluke is pronounced flewk...there, you go!!

Liver Fluke!...the part indentification speaks volumes most parts seem to be for sexual organs/gratification
