However, there are some words that can be considered near-homographs:
* "Deny" is very similar to "deign", meaning to condescend or agree to do something. While the pronunciation is different, they share the same spelling except for the last letter.
* "Decline" can be confused with "descent", which refers to a downward movement, especially in elevation. While the meanings are different, the words sound similar.
It's important to note that these are not true homographs because their pronunciations are different.
