From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A homograph is a word that has two different pronunciations, and the different pronunciations have different meanings.

The words in Homographs Part 1 have a change in vowel sound, and Homographs Part 2 deals with words that have a change in a consonant sound. 

However, the words here have a change in word stress. One important thing to know is that changes in word stress often cause changes in vowel sounds, so in some of these words you may notice a vowel sound change, but that change goes with the shift in stress. The primary way that vowels change with word stress is by becoming weaker and reducing to Schwa when they are in a syllable that is not stressed . --Madhuuha (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
