Flower. Both are pronounced exactly the same. It's both for oh, what a beautiful flower. Or this cake doesn't have any flour in it. Flour. Then we have Here. It's both for I can hear you pretty well and I'm right here. Here. Then we have sun. It's an S sound. A cup. It's like a stressed schwa and an N sound. Sun. And it's both for the sun in the sky. Or my son doesn't like to wake up in the morning.
