Mitch,

I despair of ever compiling such a list, for several reasons.  One reason is simply that what sounds alike to me may not sound alike to you.  (Remember all the discussions on this list about different styles of pronunciations?)

Having said that, I recommend that you start looking in the critical textual apparatus, often located underneath the text.  If variant readings are, say, hHMEIS and hUMEIS, bingo! you have a hit.

To all

I would like to make a list of words that are 

1) most easily  mistaken for another word (for
example, EIS and hEIS, or O TI and hOTI)

2) spelled the same or close to another word but are
different words/roots

I want to make a list of words that I can begin to
learn their differences when put side by side. Please
send any set of words that you feel meet this
criteria.
