Some raw data that may be able to be used to expand Appendix:English capitonyms.

The list is a bit crude, and may omit some legitimate capitonyms. The general process for constructing it was:

  • Find pairs of English entries that only differ by case
  • Eliminate "alternative letter case"-type form-of entries
  • Remove pairs where both entries are plurals/present participles/past tenses/third-person singulars
  • Remove pairs where one is a plural and the other is a third-person singular (for example, Shanghais/shanghais)
  • Remove pairs where both are alternative forms of the same entry (for example, A flat/a flat)
