Homographs

Revision as of 15:26, 12 January 2022 by Yug (talk | contribs)

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).

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.

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/
