Definitions

  1. 1. (orthography) consistent words (e.g. \dean\, \bean\, and \lean\, where \-ean\ is pronounced the same in each case)
  2. 2. consistent characters (e.g. 搖|摇[yáo], 遙|遥[yáo] and 謠|谣[yáo], which share a phonetic component that reliably indicates that the pronunciation of the character is yáo)
