Consonant /p/ versus null, 916 pairs.     

The consonant /p/ occurs in initial, medial and final environments, and enters freely into clusters. This accounts for the size of this list. There are a number of cases of multiple pairings such as lea/leap and lea/plea.

Interesting pairs include:

annals panels
arrest oppressed
attrition patrician
latitude platitude
concession conception
tenancies tenpences

Notice, however, that tenancies/tenpences would not be minimal in rapid speech since the /n/ of tenpences would be assimilated to /m/.
