niit (niidi, niiti, niite~niitisid) thread
niit (niidu, niitu, niite~niitusid) meadow
niis (niie, niit, niisi) heddle
niide (niite, niidet, niiteid) mowing, cutting (noun)
niitma (niita, niidan) to mow

Case forms which coincide:
niit1: nominative singular of niit (thread) and niit (meadow); partitive singular of niis (heddle)
niide2: nominative singular of niide (mowing) and short illative of niis(heddle)
niite3: part. plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow), gen. plural of niis (heddle) and gen. singular of niide (mowing)
niites: inessive singular of niide (mowing), inessive plural of niis (heddle) and des-gerund of niitma (to mow)
niidesse illative plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niides inessive plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niidest elative plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niidele allative plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niidel adessive plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niidelt ablative plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)
niideks translative plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow)

1all three meanings of niit are pronounced overlong (n`iit).
2niide as the nominative singular of niide is long (niide) but as the short illative of niis is overlong (n`iide).
3niite as the partitive plural of niit (thread) and niit (meadow) and as the genitive singular of niide (mowing) is overlong (n`iite) but as the partitive plural of niis it is not (niite).

Note: Both niit (thread) and niit (meadow) have a second set of plural forms that do not coincide (i.e. niitidele to the thread vs. niitudele to the meadow.)
