Re: Amets and Ametz are very similar but different names at the same time
in reply to a message by JDill
I like how they look, actually.
Do you pronounce then differently?

I think they both are pronounced the same in Basque due to how similarly they are spelt
From reading up it sounds like there’s a tiny difference, but probably only noticeable to Basque speakers!“* z like s in "see"
* s sort of like s in "see," but pronounced with the tongue further back, on the tip of the ridge behind your teeth”
