... with the vowel sound being pronounced differently in each case!
I think English speakers are as bad as Danes when it comes to pronunciation.

conceive (verb): 1. to become pregnant;

From Blackadder's Christmas Carol ...
Prince George: Ahh, Christmas - a time for sherry and charades, and enjoying the company of honest, manly fellows! I mean, for heaven's sake, what can I do with a woman that I can't do with you?
Blackadder: I cannot conceive, sir.
Prince George: Yes, well there is that, I suppose ...
Very clever writing by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.

My replies to a failed job application:-
Q) " Sex"
A) " Yes please"
Q) age:-
A) " Ancient"
Q) Education.
A) University of life. Failed.
I didn't even get an interview.
Wouldnt it be better if the words of Russell and Rutherford had never been written? Wouldn't it be beautiful if we never heard the words of the Watchtower?
Usng words is an art. Unless words are the shortest distance to bringing people together then we should all aspire to the condition of wordlessness.
Compound you have an art with words, as do those who write the Watchtower. But the difference is in how you use your words is 👌and that's the difference 🙂

Words can attract.
Words can detract.
Words can amuse.
Words can confuse.
Words can sell.
Use them well.

How about the word syzygy just for its own sake and its absence of vowels? (a pairing or alignment)
Or in use; Sylvia, I like your syzygy of antimony and antinomy but we could also add antonymy to them as well.
