RHWUD has one more [related]: 'ventriloquy',
and 'exequy' to pair with 'obsequy'.

We're not missing ventriloquy, are we?
Actually, OED has several dozen *quy words. I like pectoriloquy -
transmitting the voice through the chest wall.

Alway pronounced /kwi/.

All from the deponent verb 'loquor, loquari, locutus',
'speak', borrowed in English 'loquacious', 'elocution'.
| Quote: | And the unrelated:

|
From the deponent verb 'sequor, sequari, secutus',
'follow', borrowed in English 'consecutive', 'execution'.
