An example of irregularity for verbs in the present tense: “scegliere”

-->

The verb scegliere (to choose) has a particular irregularity in its conjugation in present tense: I cannot say “io sceglio“, but I have to say “io scelgo”.It means that for the first singular person (io) and the third plural person (loro) there is a reversal of consonats. This is the correct conjugation in the present tense of verb scegliere:

io scelgo
tu scegli
lui/lei sceglie
noi scegliamo
voi scegliete
loro scelgono

This characteristic is only for the present tense and there isn’t in other tenses like Imperfect (io sceglievo, etc.) or Future (io sceglierò, etc.)
Do you know other verbs with the same irregular conjugation?
