This question compares two words with different meanings and spellings but sound alike.

Bow is a verb, and means to bend as bending at the waist or bending the head and neck. An example is: It is polite to bow to a lady.

The second word, bough, is a noun and refers to the branch of a tree. An example: Daniel Boon could shoot a squirrel on the highest bough of a tree.

The word bow can refer to a bow used by archers, or a violinist. It can also mean to bend or bent like a board has a bow in it, so it is not usable when building a straight wall. In these cases the word is pronounced Bo.
