A homophone is two words that sound the same. Is that what you mean by syno=
nym, Mike? Or is there a subtle difference?=0D

In studying speech by parrots it is often useful to have a tool to remember=
 what the word sounded like. One simple example is "Eric," which I wondered=
 about for many months, until it dawned on me that my macaw was saying, "Eg=
ret." Eric is what I call a sononym for the correct statement. I'm happy to=
 learn that bird enthusiasts use a similar technique. I hope you will adopt=
 the word "sononym" to describe the process.=0D
