For example:
"I'll shoot you in the back of the back".
Back would be considered a homonym, right?
But what about STAND and UNDERSTAND?
Would that be considered a pseudo-homonym?
Pseudo means "having the appearance of", so not really...
Is there a word that means "having the sound of" or "sounding similar"?

LOL.
No, I have these lyrics and I'm trying to make them accurate.
It goes:
I'll shoot you in the back of the back
you call it your chest
I'll murder the rest
you better rest
on the ground while you bleed to death. Don't stand! you don't understand?
I'm the champion of the homonym and the ___-homonym at the end, were you listenin'?
What would stand and understand, be considered?
