Morphing words???

Question

What are some words in the english language that change pronunciation when the meaning of the word is altered? For example: I did not OBJECT to the OBJECT or The WIND is to strong to WIND the sails.

Just so you'll know, I'm not trying to get help with my homework, (I'm 26 years old and out of school) I'm just trying to outsmart my know it all sister.

Here are some I know
Wound
Refuse
Polish
Lead
Desert
Present
Bass
Dove
Invalid
Close
Does
Sow
Wind
Number
Tear
Row

Does anyone else have any that I might have missed???
I bet you don't.

Answer 2

This list could go on and on--so rather just go to the sites below. Heteronyms are words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings.
i.e. content--What is the content of the letter?
content--He was content with just one piece of pie.
bow--She had a pretty pink bow in her hair
bow--Did you bow to the Queen?
Then there are HOMOGRAPHS--same spelling, same pronunciation, different meanings.
bow--He walked to the bow of the boat.
bow--Bow to your partner before swinging her in the square dance.
Homophones sound alike but have different spellings and meanings.
beau--She took the arm of her beau before entering the restaurant.
bow--He took the bow in hand and strung the arrow.
