Consider the number of ways the particle (word ending) to (pronounced toe) can be used in Japanese. For standard words, there's hana for nose and hana for flower. Some words have a different tonal value, but many do not. And lets not forget Chinese... Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

I guess English might perhaps have more (spoken) homonyms than many other languages (see, sea, c, etc)... Nyah, plenty of languages have more, I think. Consider the number of ways the particle (word ending) to (pronounced toe) can be used in Japanese. I'm not sure if that's a homonym, in case it's considered the same particle with several different uses. In my opinion, homonymity(?) presupposes that the words are of different origin, but during the development of a language they have, by chance, become similar, in English often only in pronunciation, due to the rather antiquated spelling. (But perhaps only words that are spelled in the same manner, are considered homonyms in English??). In Finnish an interesting(?) example of a homonym is the word kuusi which means both the number 6, and spruce. That they are etymologically different words is shown by their inflected forms sounding different from each other, for instance the possessive kuuden (of six), but kuusen (spruce's). For standard words, there's hana for nose and hana for flower. Some words have a different tonal value, but many do not. And lets not forget Chinese... Well, I think Chinese might have lots of *written* homonyms (hmm...), but strictly speaking, as melodic accent is, I believe, a so called suprasegmental phoneme in Chinese, for instance the variations of the word 'ma' pronounced with four(?) different melodic accents are not homonyms, because the variation in melodic accent is accompanied by difference in meaning, which in turn means that the difference is equivalent to the difference in English between, say, 'key' and 'pee', or 'will' and 'well', that form so called minimal pairs, which in turn is a proof that , in this case, 'k' and 'p' are different phonemes as well as 'i' and 'e', as are the different melodic accents in Chinesephew! :) Yahoo!
