REVIEW | Rangers 3-1 Falkirk-Duration: 2 minutes, 13 seconds.
homonym â(plural homonyms). ( 1 semantics, strict sense) A word that both sounds and is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning. ( 2 loosely) A word that sounds or is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning, technically called a homophone (same sound) or a homograph (same spelling).
Re: Homophone vs Homonym Originally Posted by Lynne Hand.

So a homophone would be - There was a mail from a male. And a homonym would be - The bandage was wound around the wound.:?
