English homophones in the Eng-NX word list
Posted by skell on 12 Dec 2012 in Tasks
Note to selves for the future: how will we deal with English homophones for sorting the Eng-Nx word list? If we remember, let's list the ones we come across here. So far we have:
fire - "flames" vs. "dismiss employee"
fast - "quick" vs. "abstain from food"
hide - "skin" vs. "conceal"
cold - adj or noun "coldness" vs. "illness"
saw - "tool" vs. past tense of see (replaced with <gloss subtype="i">see</gloss>, SMK 21May13)
close (near) vs. close (shut)
stern (back of boat)
game (recreation)
watch (observe) vs. watch (wristwatch)
back (body part)
top (toy) vs. top (of something)
fish vs. fish (catch fish)
