Friend Laurence Sweeney collects Homonyms of a type he calls Homographic Diphonics (same spelling, different pronunciation ).
See if you can find two meanings in each of these:
address dingy object sewer
axes do perfect shower
bow does present sow
buffet dove progress stingy
close entrance project subject
conduct house read tarry
convert invalid record tear
convict lead recreate use
desert live refuse wind
digest minute row wound
This word buff also points out a duplication in some words:
Why say preventative? Isn’t preventive the same?
Why say representative? Isn’t representive the same?
