What words with the long a sound are spelled like steak?

There aren't many words that are spelled like "steak" and have the long a sound. Here are a few:

* break (to separate something)

* weak (not strong)

These words are spelled with a "ea" but the "a" sound is short. There are other words that are spelled similarly and have the long a sound, but they have different spellings:

* lake (a body of water)

* bake (to cook in an oven)

* shake (to move something back and forth)

Let me know if you'd like more examples!
