However there are a great many NEAR homonyms and homophones, words so similar the shift of an accent from one syllable to a following one can change the meaning.
The best known example is probably TI / tinos /tina
meaning either any or some or an but also who or what .
There are others
Words where aspirating an initial consonant is far more important than it is in English or a change of sound in a word shows it is a different dialect or an older form.
Im compiling a list I will share on my Metousia Patreon soon
