Some words look identical except that the stress is on a different syllable:
- בואי, קומי, שירי, שובי - These can all be either feminine imperatives, or possessive nouns (my getting up)
- באה, קמה, שרה, שבה – These can be either past tense or present tense.
Mappik Some words are indistinguishable except for the fact that there is a mappik in one of their letters:
- אִשָּׁה (woman) vs אִישָׁהּ (her husband) – See Bemidbar 5:29.
- השקה (to give to drink) vs. וְהִשְׁקָהּ (to give her to drink) – Compare Bemidbar 5:24 and 27.
Dagesh
- See Shemot Rabbah on Shemot 2:5, reading "אמתה" there to mean "her hand" and Rashi pointing out that if so, it should have had a dagesh in the mem.
