As a rule, when speculating etymological relations, always look at the spelling rather that the pronunciation, since the latter tends to change a lot more quickly. English, of course, is an extreme case of this; during the Great Vowel Shift spellings stayed much the same while most vowels changed to the point of becoming unrecognisable. This is why English spelling makes no sense.
