Some words ending in quy:

colloquy - to speak with
obloquy - to speak against
soliloquy - to speak alone

And the unrelated:

obsequy - a funeral rite

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/.

Quote:

All from the deponent verb 'loquor, loquari, locutus',
'speak', borrowed in English 'loquacious', 'elocution'.

Quote:

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

And loquor, loqui, for all that. Where is Arron when you need him?

Aperit ut nōn sufficere memoriam meam.
Meā culpā, meā culpā, meā māximā culpā.

(And Aaron's probably busy writing papers,
or correcting them.)
