Well, Planck's constant isn't a mathematical FUNCTION. It is a constant, a number.

But no function called Planck exists.

I think we are into Quantum Physics, here. It isn't my strongest suit, I believe there may be 'formulae' or 'equations' that some give Planck's name to.
For the purpose of this game, it is probably close enough!

I was thinking of .... rays & raise (as in raise to the power of ...)

@wolfgang59 saidI wanted shine and sinh. Sinh is short for hyperbolic sine. You can pronounce it sine h (sine aitch), cinch, or shine.

I'm unsure if that counts as a homophone.
Homophones are separate words that sound alike. One word with multiple meanings doesn't count as a homophone.

It's not a homophone, but other posters were doing this earlier in the thread. I guess I'll stick to actual homophones from now on.
Your turn to post one

@vivify saidtechnically, that's a homonym (same name), which is both a homophone (same sound) and a homograph (same shape).
Correct.

I believe the intention here is homophones that are not homographs.
