It's a sort of shoe-cabbage, at least in its Anglicized pronunciation.

A "shoe-cabbage" is a pair of words in different languages that have the same pronunciation but different meanings.

French choux 'cabbage'.

I rather think that Russian shit' 'to sew' also qualifies, even if the vowels are a bit off.
