There is a relatively small number of MTL words that can be converted to more than one valid [[POJ]] word. This happens because of loss of tone information when syllables are put together to form a word ([[tone sandhi]]).  
Some MTL polysyllable words correspond to more than one valid [[POJ]] word. In most cases the original words are two syllables and become homophones after [[tone sandhi]] (the first syllable changes from high or curving-up tone to basic). After conversion from POJ or [[TL]] to MTL, they become homonyms as they share the same spelling.


A total of 96 MTL words with this property were found in the [[Maryknoll Taiwanese-English Dictionary]]. In general, they are two syllables, where the first syllable's citation tone is either tone 1 (high) or tone 5 (curving-up).
