Another example of homophones is:

hangar and hanger
hangar: a large building where aircrafts are kept.
hanger: a curve piece of wire to hang clothes upon
seek-to look for. eg- she is just seeking love and sick-not well,eg- she is sick and would be doing fine soon.
And the last post byme reminds me of another set of words.
fine-penalty, eg- you could be fined for breaking law
fine- good, very good, fine. eg- In response to how are you?, I am fine, thank you.
the eg of fine is not a homophone vidhimayur, its a homonym..ie words spelled and pronounced alike but with different meanings
