While both words are pronounced the same (/veɪl/), they have different meanings:
* Veil: A piece of fabric worn to cover the face or head, often for religious or ceremonial purposes. It can also refer to something that hides or conceals.
* Vale: A valley, especially a broad, low valley. It can also be used figuratively to mean a state of sadness or mourning.
