Handling of heteronyms #36

Closed Donterioo closed 2 years ago

Donterioo commented 2 years ago

"A heteronym (also known as a heterophone) is a word that has a different pronunciation and meaning from another word but the same spelling" For example, "close" can be pronounced in two ways. /ˈkloʊs/ as an adjective and /ˈkloʊz/ as a verb.

When adding the ipa pronunciation, there should at least be information that the word can be pronounced in several ways.
