The state of being a homonym is called homonymy. Examples of pairs of homonyms are stalk (part of a plant) and stalk (follow/harass a person), and left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave).<br />In a looser non-technical sense, the term "homonym" can be used to refer to words that share the same spelling irrespective of pronunciation, or share the same pronunciation irrespective of spelling – in other words, they are homographs or homophones.[1] In this sense, pairs such as row (propel with oars) and row (argument), and read (peruse) and reed (waterside plant), would also be homonyms.<br />A distinction may be made between "true" homonyms, which are unrelated in origin, such as skate (glide on ice) and skate (the fish), and polysemous homonyms, or polysemes, which have a shared origin, such as mouth (of a river) and mouth (of an animal).[2][3]Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418312209367270658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-18130996110330008072010-09-29T08:07:03.989-07:002010-09-29T08:07:03.989-07:00Thanks, Piraro.

I've been playing with various facial hairstyles for years, I used to have a big, whopping Salvadore Dali mustache, but got rid of it because it was too much trouble to maintain. I liked Zappa, too, maybe that's a subconscious influence.Pirarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340738828876740970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-50661159973842539242010-09-27T04:03:56.506-07:002010-09-27T04:03:56.506-07:00Greetings,

I'm eager to know where did you get the inspiration for such (rather unusual) facial-hair style? <br />The moustache alone is very rare among young people like I am, but the soul patch combo- that's practically fashionable suicide. <br />I'm really interested in the reasons for such a weird decision. It looked good on Zappa and on the meme of young mexicans, but why, damn it, why?<br /><br />Feel free to reply here: charlieou@walla.com or in the blog...
