 Craven's Haven - Mark and Katie's homograph page
A homograph is a word that has different pronuciations and definitions, but is spelled the same (homo=same, graph=write).
A classic case would be a word like wound, which as a noun means injury and with a different pronunciation is the past tense of the verb wind, itself a homograph.
The term is contrasted with homophones, words with two spellings and two meanings but only one pronunciation such as fair/fare, and with homonyms, words with one spelling, one pronunciation, but two unrelated meanings, such as bear or just or left.

If the word list is linked to the term list, the comparison can be made very easily, but even if one has to consult a published or electronic dictionary separately, it is not difficult to make this comparison.
Indeed, many word lists already exist and it would be possible to generate the kind of list proposed here, although it might be a costly and perhaps redundant process.
In a term list, by contrast, the computer can combine all the equivalent terms for a concept in one entry, and users will be able to find that entry regardless of which equivalent term they use in their query.
