- List_of_English_homographs abstract "Homographs are words which are spelled the same, but with more than one meaning. A homograph that is pronounced differently is a heteronym.Some homographs are nouns or adjectives when the accent is on the first syllable and verbs when it is on the second. When the prefix "re-" is added to a monosyllabic word, the word gains currency both as a noun and as a verb. Most of the words listed below are closely related: for example, "absent" meaning "missing", and as a verb meaning "to make oneself missing". There are however, also many cases in which homographs are of entirely separate origin, or whose meanings have diverged to the point that present-day speakers have little historical connection: for example, "bat" and "bear". Many, though not all of these have first syllables that evolved from Latin. Also, some words only exhibit stress alternation in certain varieties of English. For a list of homographs with different pronunciations (heteronyms) see List of heteronyms.affectattributebackbankbarbatbearbowcancapturechangeclearclosecombinecommunecompactcompostcompoundcompressconductconscriptconsoleconsortconstructconsultcontentcontestcontrastconverseconvertconvictcooldeardefaultdefectdigestdischargedismountdisplaydowneffectengageentranceseveningexploitextractfinancefinefootimpactimplantimportimpoundinclineincreaseinsertinsultinterceptinterchangeintrigueintoinvalidinviteleadletterlightlivematchmaymindminutemopednumberobjectoffenseovercountoverlayoverlookparkperfectperfumepermitpervertportmanteauproceedsprogressprotestpurposequailquarryrebelrecallrecaprecessredressrefundregressrejectrelapseremakeresearchresentretakeretardretractrockroserowsewersinkskiedsubjectsurveysuspectsignspiritteartheorytransfertransformtransplanttransporttransposetooundercountupdateupliftupsetwavewindwoundyardwell".
