Homophones beginning with the letter A

Please be patient with us, as this page and the data-base are under construction. Every homophone on the page is part of a set with at least one other homophone. As the set scaffolding is completed (set words, phonetics, short definitions), the link will be activated.

The  beginning ... A homophones

Keep in mind that “a” can be pronounced in at least five different ways in English and so will appear with different phonetics in some dictionaries even if they are using IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) phonetics.

We have looked for intersections of phonetics between the differing words in a given set. For example, “aunt/ant” are considered homophones by some but not by others. Likewise, “aren’t/aunt” sound alike to some but not others.
