A 'synonym' is a word people use when they cant spell or pronounce the other word.
I know how that works. When I lived in Zimbabwe I often could not demonstrate the difference between the implosive or explosive
'd'. So when I was trying to say 'proud' my audience heard 'duck'. Both are spelt 'dada' but pronunciation is quite different. I worked around it.
Another tough one for me in chiShona was 'baba' which means 'father.' I had to resort to calling everyone mister or another appropriate respectful title. Phooey. My American lips just couldn't get the flow of it sometimes.
