The word spelled s-l-o-u-g-h has two categories of meanings and different pronunciations for each.

1. If you pronounce the word "sluff," it means "to shed skin" or "skin that is shed."

2. If you pronounce the word "slau" to rhyme with "cow," it means "a swampy area" or, metaphorically, "a depressive state."

Isn't that awesome?!!
