Based on the principle “Birds of a feather flock together” words also unconsciously seek their like and sit together.  This pun is the sweetest of the puns. If two words which are different in meaning share six characteristics such as (type of letters, number of letters, points, their form and  movement, orthography, and the sequence of letters) pun is called ploce, and if they differ only in one of those aspects the pun is called paronomasia.  If the difference lies in more than one aspect, pun is absolute.  The most beautiful of puns is the semi polyptoton.
