Sound
Go and Stop is different, because the words do not feel the same.
Onomatopoeia:
Individual sounds-tied-to-sense.
The alphabet: Vowels and consonants
Vowel: a, e, i, o, u. Sometimes w and y. All the other letters are consonants.
W and y is called a consonant when it precedes a vowel heard in the same syllable.
The consonants are divided into semivowels and mutes.
Semivowel: a consonant that can be imperfectly sounded without a vowel, so that the end of a syllable its sound may be protracted. E.g l, n, z, in al, an, az.
Semivowels are f, h, j, l, m, n, r, s, v, w, x, y, z, and c and g soft. The sound of c, f, g, h, j, s, or x can be protracted only as an aspirate, or strong breath.
Four of the semivowels, l, m, n, and r are termed liquids, on account of the fluency of their sounds.
Four other, v, w, y, and z are likewise more vocal than the aspirates.
A mute is a consonant that cannot be sounded at all without a vowel, and which at the end of a syllable suddenly stops the breath, as k, p ,t in ak, ap, at.
The mutes are eight: b, d, k, p, q, t, and c and g hard.
Three of these, k, g, and c hard sound exactly alike. B, d, and g hard stop the voice less suddenly than the rest.

Devices of sound:
Alliteration: strictly specking. The repetition of the initial sound of words in a line or lines of verse. E.g It bleeds the black blood of the blueberry.
But sometimes alliteration includes the repetition of both initial sounds and interior sounds of words. E.g blueberry.
Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds within words in a line or lines of verse. Such repetition creates a near-rhyme. E.g And land so lightly.
Onomatopoeia: the use of a word that, through its sound as well as its sense, represents what it defines. E.g cows moo, bees buzz.
