It is so much fun to have an on-line dictionary!  In some circumstances,
it is difficult to put the supersigns over a character ("^" and the breve).
This caused me to wonder which roots might get confused if no one ever
used the supersigns.  After a few sed's and sorts, here is the result.
Of course, an analysis using a larger dictionary would produce a larger
list, but most words which are not in my dictionary are relatively rare.
Some amusing collisions: car vs ^car (is a car really king?).
Mi ne povas legi le^gojn (I can't read laws).  Prentiss ser^cis ^sercoj.

p.s. The only words I've found in which 'a' is followed by 'u' (rather than '^u")
are "kakaujo" (cocoa container) and "kakaur^go" (urge for cocoa....)
