A list of homophones

I began with several hundred of my own and supplemented these from a variety of lists I found on the net. A few of these depend on dialect pronunciation. Where there was a match with a common word, I included a few proper names. The order of listing is alphabetical by the first word in the family. Unless they creates a new category, I have not listed the plurals of a pair. There are over 700 listed.
