What is a homograph for the word brilliant?

There is no perfect homograph for "brilliant" in the sense of being a word with the same spelling but different meaning.

However, there are words that can be considered near homographs based on their pronunciation:

* "Brilliant" (pronounced /ˈbrɪliənt/)

* "Brillant" (pronounced /ˈbrɪljənt/ in French)

While "brillant" is spelled differently, it is pronounced very similarly to "brilliant" and has a similar meaning (meaning "shining, sparkling, brilliant").

Keep in mind that "brillant" is a French word, so it wouldn't be considered a true homograph in English.
