Yes, "hair" and "hare" are homophones, not homographs. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings, while homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.
Homographs for "sow" are: "sow" meaning to plant seeds in the ground "sow" meaning a female pig
Some examples of homographs include: "bow" (a knot or to bend at the waist) and "wind" (air flow or to twist or coil).
No, "stamed" is not a homograph. Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and may be pronounced differently. "Stamed" does not match this definition.
