However, you could consider using "thrown" as a near-homophone. While they don't sound exactly the same, they are very close in pronunciation, and the context often clarifies the intended word.
For example, you could say:
* "The king sat upon the throne."
* "The ball was thrown across the field."
Keep in mind that using near-homophones can sometimes cause confusion, so it's important to be mindful of the context.
