Law part is not available in last questions please check those questions before to mark it duplicate. – Sohail Qureshi Dec 31 '14 at 15:25

This question concerns silent letters at the beginning of a word and not silent letters in general as in lamb (at the end of a word) or the interior of a word. And I think the question asks for a general rule - that is it concerns common words that occur often, and not rarest exotic and academic words in rarest disciplines. I have googled and found nothing really useful and the links here treat silent letters in general. So I think "marked as duplicate" is wrong and the question should be answered. – rogermue Jan 01 '15 at 04:33
