However, another problem has emerged when I found that the word "streit" among a collection of words that have been said that they are have the same pronunciation but different spelling and meaning.

PS ('Straits of Hormuz' are akin to the 'strait' in straitjacket and strait-laced; cognate with French étroit.)
