Please add any homonyms from your language to the list! This page is new, so we still need to determine "rules":

Homonym display
How are we writing the homonyms down? IPA or X-SAMPA would seem the best choice for a multilingual list.
  • I vote for IPA in Unicode, even though this is somewhat cumbersome to type. Arthaey 23:58, 1 Mar 2005 (PST)
Requirements for addition
Part of the reason for having this list centralized on the wiki is to make it easy to add only one's own words to the list, rather than compare one's entire lexicon against all other languages' lexicons. But does this mean that we eventually want to have a single page with the collective lexicons of all languages, arranged "alphabetically" by IPA character? That seems like a whole lot of words -- then again, that might be exactly what this list is supposed to be, in which case it's a good thing. Thoughts?
