What is the only word in the English language that when capitalized is changed from a noun or a verb to a nationality?

Well, if Tristan is right and the word has to be both a noun and a verb, "scotch" is a noun, often not capitalized ("I'll have a scotch and water") and a verb ("Let's scotch that rumor right now !"), and of course the Scotch (more commonly called the Scottish) are a bravehearted people.
