	American Homophones
		This is a list of homophones in "General American English".
		However, the list does occasionally include spelling variants of the same word when there is another word in the same entry; for instance, "ax, axe, acts" is in the list but not "blessed, blest".(Note that the only difference between "homophones" and "spelling variant" is whether or not the words are lexically "the same".)
		Each word in the list occurs as a headword; thus each word occurs at least twice: once as a headword and at least once in the tail of the list.

	Homonym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fluke is a fish, as well as a flatworm, the end parts of an anchor, the fins on a whale's tail, and a stroke of luck, all of which four separate lexemes with separate etymologies, share the one form, fluke.
		(Note, however, when read with a natural rhythm in many dialects, to has a schwa and is not homophonous with too or two.) There, their, and they're are familar examples, as are lead (the metal) and led (the verb past participle).
		In some accents, various sounds have merged in that they are no longer distinctive, and thus words that differ only by those sounds in an accent that maintains the distinction (a minimal pair) are homophonous in the accent with the merger.

	Homonym (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)

	Pure English, Tract No. II. English Homophones.
		Homophone is strictly a relative term, but it is convenient to use it absolutely, and to call any word of this kind a homophone.
		The homophones in the other sections, iv, v, vi, vii, viii and ix, are generally of such a kind that they would not of themselves constitute a very peculiar case against the English language; but their addition to the main list does very much strengthen the case.
		He writes thus of the lists of words which he gives 'to show what pairs of homonyms [homophones] would be created if distinctions were abolished that are now maintained: they [the lists] thus demonstrate the force of resistance opposed to some of the sound-changes which one might imagine as happening in the future.

	ELECTRONIC TERM LIST -- DIGEST
		However, if the homophones were to be listed as a group by the ETL, then whenever one wrote any member of this group it would be highlighted, enabling writers to find the other homophones in each set and look up their definitions if that seemed useful.
		Hence having a list of them could sometimes be useful and having an ETL that highlighted any homophone when it was written in a word processor and supported a hyperlink to list members of the set might be valued by some writers.
		Listing them in an ETL would help anyone working with a multi-lingual dictionary find the entries where the special problems posed by such words are discussed.
