Just because the âstâ ligature is so uncommon (and the long âÅâ with its âÅtâ ligature is almost extinct), I was looking for an example involving âflâ, or âfiâ).
with ff :
affable, baffe, biffer, Buffy, affriolant, effaroucher, effacer, ...
with ffl :
effleurer, baffle, affligeant, ...
with fl :
afleurer, flower, fleur, floral, floraison, inflation, dÃflation, flic, infliger...
with ffi :
traffic, efficace, effilocher, officier, affiche, affine, ...
with fi :
fi, fin, final, fil, fils, filature, filin, firme, firmament, aficionados, dÃfi, figure...
Many more examples of modern and widely used words (at least in English and French, but probably too in most Romance languages and other European languages including Roman Latin radicals)...
Other widely used ligatures include "st" and "ct": est, test, acte, octet...
