The similarity of the sound of many words in the Greek language gives them a particular characteristic compared to others: it classifies them in the category of homophones. Indeed, by studying the Greek language throughout its historical course, from Homeric to Common (Demotic), we encounter many words that sound the same as others, not necessarily belonging to the same part of speech (there are many adjectives that sound the same as verbs and nouns).
For the student or learner, identifying this category of Greek words attempted by the "Dictionary of Homophones" can prove to be a pleasant educational game, through which they will learn their various interpretations and spellings (many of which necessarily maintain historical spelling), while also helping them enrich their vocabulary towards a direction that demonstrates the continuous and uninterrupted nature of our language.
For the educator and every intellectual, the "Dictionary of Homophones" aspires to become a valuable aid in the search for our linguistic instrument.
