What words are pronounced differently by merely capitalizing the first word?

This is a tricky one! There aren't many words that change their pronunciation solely based on capitalization. The closest examples involve homophones:

* "A" vs. "a" - The first is pronounced as the letter name, while the second is the indefinite article, pronounced like the vowel sound in "cat."

The key here is that capitalization typically indicates a specific grammatical function (like the start of a sentence or a proper noun). While this can impact meaning, it doesn't usually lead to different pronunciation.

Do you have any other word pairs in mind that you think might fit this description?
