Different spellings for different forms of the word

There are some words coming from the same root word that have different spellings when the forms are changed.

1 - curious -> curiosity
2 - vigour -> vigorous
3 - pronounce -> pronunciation
4 - explain -> explanation
5 - furious -> ferocity
6 - monster -> montrous
7 - generous -> generosity
8 - four -> forty (but nine -> ninety)
9 - labour -> laborious

Are there any others?
