For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The Oxford English Dictionary (the big one, not the Concise) also lists:
youghendale (a variant of yokindale, a Scottish coin)
yough fro (a variant of jungfrau)
yought (a variant spelling of yacht)
Their pronunciation (/oak/, /ung/ and /ott/) should be different from all the other examples given, though since the words/spellings are pretty obsolete, this is uncertain.
In case you were wondering, I discovered this while looking to see if the OED allows youghurt as an alternative spelling of yoghurt (it doesn't, though it is widely used - and this would give us /oag/).
