Usage notes
[edit]- Homonyms (in the broader sense) are divided into the two overlapping subcategories homographs and homophones. Examples:
- die and dye (homophones but not homographs)
- the parasitic flatworm called the fluke, the fish called the fluke, and a fluke, part of the tail of a whale (both homophones and homographs and therefore true homonyms in the strict sense)
- the metal lead and the present tense of the verb lead (homographs but not homophones)
