There's the French expression "Les", pronounced as lay, if I think of more I'll edit my answer.

Jesus’
Socrates’
Plautus’
The general rule is that the possessive of words that end on S is the same as that of any other word, -’s. That is the way these words are pronounced—more or less. There are exceptions. The possessive of ‘classical names’ omits the final -s, as in Jesus’, Socrates’, Plautus’.

I can't give you all of them, but how about Corps, as in Marine Corps.
