TIL: #English "desert" as a noun is actually a #homograph: there is desert_1 /ˈdɛz.ɚt/ (as in "the camels in the desert", but also desert_2 /dɪˈzɝt/ 'that which is deserved' as in " Will the bad get their just deserts?"
And then of course there is also the verb "desert", as in "Don't desert me", homonym of desert_2
