Sure! 😊
Here are 10 examples of capitonyms — words that change meaning (and sometimes pronunciation) when capitalized:
| Lowercase | Capitalized | Meaning (Lowercase) | Meaning (Capitalized) |
|---|---|---|---|
| polish | Polish | to make shiny | from Poland |
| march | March | to walk in rhythm | the month |
| turkey | Turkey | a bird | a country |
| august | August | dignified, noble | the month |
| roman | Roman | type of lettering | from Rome |
| china | China | porcelain dishes | a country |
| lima | Lima | a type of bean | capital of Peru |
| job | Job | employment | a biblical figure |
| reading | Reading | the act of reading | a city in England or Pennsylvania |
| pagan | Pagan | a non-religious person | a surname or proper name |
Would you like me to include pronunciation differences too (for those that change sound)?
