Homographs (same writing) but not homophone (not same pronunciation), aka Heteronym require a suffix to differentiates these audios. The suffix should not be pronounced nor recorded.
Rule
- If one pronunciation is clearly the norm, no suffix is needed
- For equal rank or rare pronunciations, add to that word a suffix within brackets, like so:
# word (suffix). - This suffix should hint at the difference between both items.
Example
In French, the following are homographs non homophones, the part between brackets is not read aloud in LinguaLibre : Distinction via the part of speech :
# excellent (v), pronounced `excel`# excellent (adj), pronounced `excellant`
In some language, word can be pronounced differently if read by a man or woman :
# vert (masculin), pronounced `ver`# vert (féminin), pronounced `verte`
We can also differentiate by using a synonym :
# crooked (injured), pronounced `crookaid` /ˈkrʊkɪd/# crooked (corrupt), pronounced `crookt` /ˈkrʊkt/
Or use the pronunciation in a transcription of your choice:
# crooked (/ˈkrʊkɪd/), pronounced `crookaid` /ˈkrʊkɪd/# crooked (/ˈkrʊkt/), pronounced `crookt` /ˈkrʊkt/
In practice
Within your list such as List:mnw/Commons, transform :
# ကစေံ1 # ကစေံ2
into
#ကစေံ (read) #ကစေံ (speak)
You can now record your words, without reading the suffix.
