Although "homonyms" are sometimes defined as sounding OR spelling the same, the precise definition requires both. (Sound alikes are "homophones".) Homonyms have different MEANINGS, normally as differing parts of speech (i.e. verb-noun, adjective-noun). Heteronyms are spelled alike but have different sounds and meanings. Examples of homonyms :Bear (animal or carry) / Left (direction or not taken) / Cast (to mold or a splint) Examples of homophones : bye-buy, see-sea, ate-eight, threw-through, to-too-two.
