I bet there are more in French 🙂

Does - ay
- aye
- eye
- I

Count as four or three? My dictionary lists ay and aye as seperate words with the same meaning.

carat
carrot
caret
karat

I did a google search for homophones, and the only one with five I found is:

so
sew
sow
sough
soh (alt. sp. for sol)

Nice one! Never heard of sough (Derbyshire drainage ditch?) and had not thought of soh as alternative to sol.

Give that man a banana!

Surely 5 cannot be beaten? (or equalled!)
