Best Answer

In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phonological element, such as a phone, phoneme, toneme or chroneme and have distinct meaning.

An example is comb and rome. The phonemic transcription of comb is [komb] and the phonemic transcription of rome is [rown]. Therefor this pair of words constitute a minimal pair: initial consonant.
