Co-sleeping essentially means sleeping in close proximity to your child. It may be in the same bed or just in the same room. Some ways of co-sleeping that different families use are: Bed-sharing/Family Bed: Parent(s) sleep in the same bed with the child. Sidecar arrangement: Securely attach a crib to one side of the parentsâ bed, next to the mother. Three sides of the babyâs crib are left intact, but the side next to the parentsâ bed is lowered or removed so that mother and baby have easy access to one another.
Homographs are words that have the same spelling but differ in origin, meaning, and sometimes pronunciation, such as the verb bear (to carry or endure) and the noun bear (the animal with a shaggy coat).
If they are pronounced differently then they are also heteronyms â for example, bow (the front of a ship) and bow (a ranged weapon). Homophones (literally same sound) are usually defined as words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of how they are spelled. If they are spelled the same then they are also homographs (and homonyms); if they are spelled differently then they are also heterographs (literally different writing).
