Some MTL words can be converted to more than one valid POJ word. This happens because of loss of tone information when MTL syllables are put together to form a word (tone sandhi). In general, the word is two syllables, where the first syllable's citation tone is either tone 1 (high) or tone 5 (curving-up). After conversion to MTL, they become homonyms (same spelling, same pronunciation).
