HOMONYM: One of two or more words having the same sound and often the same spelling but different meanings. Examples: quail (cower), and quail (bird) fair (appearance), fair (county fair), and fair (reasonable).

HOMOPHONE: One of two or more words pronounced the same but different in meaning, origin, and sometimes spelling. Examples: cite, sight, and site; sea and see; your and you're; bow and bough.

HOMOGRAPH: One of two or more words spelled alike but different in origin, meaning, and sometimes pronunciation. Examples: bow of a ship, a bow and arrow, and a bow (deference/manners).

what are words that are spelt the same but pronounced two different ways. for example tear ~~to cry~~ tear --to rip a piece of cloth... wind- to entangle around something--wind - a force of nature?

multiple-meaning words are spelled the same, sound the same, but have different meanings

homonyms are spelled differently but sound the same
