Let A, B be the ordered sets in Figure 10.3. Let C be the direct product of infinitely many copies of the two element chain2. Then AC is isomorphic to BC, but A is not isomorphic to B.

1993, Marcus Jacobson, Foundations of Neuroscience, page 106
The fact that different structures can be shown to be functionally isomorphic implies that they are analogous, not homologous.
1981, John Lyons, Language and Linguistics: An Introduction, page 60
For example, in so far as written and spoken English are isomorphic (i.e. have the same structure), they are the same language: there is nothing but their structure that they have in common.
