Someone once told me there were no multisylabic words in the english language that had a single pronounced 'E' following a consonant at their end.

Adobe.

But for what it's worth, Adobe is a Spanish word that English borrowed. On top of that, I think it originated in Arabic.

English is full of that nonsense. Stupid language.
