Homographs

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

Add a suffix to your word. This suffix should be inside brakets (suffix).

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/
