Beginnings.... Homophones starting with "E"

Words that begin with an "e" can be challenging because sometimes they sound like other vowels such as 'o' in 'eau' or ... you have the idea.

So listen carefully, and if in doubt, ask the person to please spell the word for your. 

You may be glad you did.

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.
