it quite is a HOMOGRAPH. Homographs are 2 words that are spelt the comparable yet mean varied issues and promounced in yet in any different case; e.g. 'minute' - a million/sixtieth of an hour, 'minute' - a very small component. they seem the comparable yet are stated in yet in any different case and mean varied issues. 'Homo' capacity 'sames as' and 'telephone' capacity 'sound'. So a HOMOPHONE capacity the two words sound and are spelt the comparable, whether they have diverse meanings; e.g. 'submit to' - a wild animal, and 'submit to' - to hold some thing. A HOMONYM are 2 words that are stated the comparable yet spelt in yet in any different case. e.g. 'adjust' - to amend some thing, 'altar' - a sacred table. All homophones are homonyms, nevertheless no longer unavoidably any different way.
