Homonyms:
* "wa" means both "3-all" and "one" (e.g. thiwa means 31-all). The meaning is always clear from context.
* "la" means both "11-all" and "large", and also the solfege note La. Thus 11a may become "ila".
* "lo" means both "11-over" and "low", as in "low C". Thus 11o may become "ilo".
* "sa" means both "17-all" and "small", and also the Saregam note Sa. Thus 17o may become "iso".
* "so" means both "17-over" and the solfege note So. Thus 17o may become "iso".
* "no" means both "19-over" and "omit", as in no3. Thus 19o may become "ino".
* "nu" means both "19-under" and "new", as in "the new key". Thus 19u may become "inu".
