I can't answer this one.
Donald says "Is there a word for when you have two words which
have the same meaning, the same pronunciation, and a different
spelling?" His example is 'tacit'/'tacet', which I'd pronounce
differently myself, but his point is still an interesting one.
Personally I figure that there's unlikely to be a metalinguistic term
for something which only occurs in one instance. He can't think of any
other examples offhand. Can any of you?
