homophone 是可数名词，单数形式泛指“一个同音词”时必须加不定冠词 a；a homophone of 是表示“……的同音词”的常用结构。
homophone 只要求读音相同，拼写和意义可以不同（如 bare/bear）；homonym 严格指拼写与读音都相同而意义不同的词（如 bank 的两个义项），只在宽泛用法中才兼指同音词。若只是发音一致而拼写不同，用 homophone 才准确。
homophone 着眼于读音相同而拼写常不同（如 right/write）；homograph 着眼于拼写相同而读音或意义不同（如 lead 的两个读音）。拼写与读音都相同的词（如 bank 的两个义项）算 homograph 也算 homonym，但不算 homophone。
