I can think of a few more possibilities than those.

J'ai peur d'en voir les plus mauvais.
'I fear that I'll see the worst ones.' 我怕會看到最不好的。

Elle me convainc d'y retourner.
'She's convincing me of going back (there).' 她說服我該回去。

Il croit qu'en acheter un bon n'est pas facile.
'He thinks buying a good one isn't easy.' 他覺得買好的一個不容易。

Tu ne veux qu'y réfléchir. Quelle est ta décision ?
'You only want to keep thinking about it. What's your decision?' 你只想不斷地思考,決定是什麼呢?

Do ré mi ...
"mettre" at the past tense: il mit

C'est mimi (cute, it's the familiar/childish version of "mignon")

and in grammatical jargon
In French, elision refers to the suppression of a final unstressed vowel (usually [ə]) immediately before another word beginning with a vowel. The term also refers to the orthographic convention by which the deletion of a vowel is reflected in writing, and indicated with an apostrophe .
