>>The problem with 'krutý' and 'krůtí' is simply that they are not
homophones by any means.

Okay, you have puns, but I think you're overstating the difference in sound
here. The 'ů' is just a long 'u' and the 'ý' and 'í' are practically
identical, which is why you yourselves can have problems knowing which is
which. Homophones in English can have slight differences when you look at
them in detail. When I consider 'sort', 'sought' the first is a little
longer.
