Homophones beginning with the letter “D”

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.

The beginning … homophones starting with the letter "D"

D initial homophones are much fewer in number than ‘a’, ‘b’ or ‘c’.

This is a stand-alone sound at the beginning of words but will sometimes change with the ‘t’s’ in the middle or ends of words. Be careful. But like the ‘b’s’, all members of homophone sets that begin with the sound ’d’, also begin with ‘d’. This makes this section easier.

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.

Sometimes, 'd's' like 't's' are aspirated. But unlike the 't's', the 'h' in 'dh' in English, tends to be silent.
