So. I've begun to compile a list of difficult to define monosyllabic words, for reasons of, well, why not. Right? Yes, exactly my thoughts. So anyway. What follows is what I've come up with so far; if you've got any grand suggestions please fire away! It'd be much appreciated. I figure some of you out there must share an appreciation for this sort of thing. Don't be shy. (And yes, I'm aware 'difficult to define' may indeed be so very very highly subjective etc etc etc)
The list so far:
