A homophone are different words with the same sound, so stalk (secretly follow somebody) and stalk (the stem of a plant) are homophones in English. In many languages including Igbo you can make a sentence using homophones.

In order to participate you have to make a grammatically correct (maybe with some exceptions) sentence in Igbo using one sound and then translate it for the sake of others.. They can be no smaller than four words.

I'll start:

Ézì èzí èzí ézì Ézí ézí èzí

Trans: The foreign/wild pig showed the pig of Ezi town a proper family/household.

and

Há hà há háà ha ha

Trans: They left them and then the others left them.

Éké èké éké éké

Trans: The python created the division of/on Eke day

Could you do one with akwa?

Coooollllll.

Fun. What of aspirants and nasals? As part of the game, would we count them as homophones alongside normal stressed sounds, or are they to be counted separately?

Either way, here are mine...
