incite/insight

Here is yet another example of two words that have identical phonemes, very different meanings and require different emphasis in their pronunciation.

Incite, the verb, means to stir up or provoke. It arises in the 15 Century from the Latin incitare meaning to excite. To pronounce this accurately, half-stress is found on the first syllable and full stress falls on the second syllable of the word.

Insight is a noun. It refers to the ability of a person to perceive clearly or deeply; perception that is sudden, penetrating and gives significant understanding of a problem or situation. Accurate pronunciation reflects the full stress on the first syllable and half stress on the second syllable of the word.
