Alternative table[edit]
A proposal of an alternative, reacting to the criticism raised in a comment in the main page:
| Nym | Sound | Spelling | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| homonym | = | = | |
| heteronym | <> | = | (cat) |
| homograph | * | = | |
| homophone | = | <> | (cat) |
The current version:
| * | Same spelling | Different spelling |
|---|---|---|
| Same sound |
||
| Different sound |
||
| Unspecified sound |

The table and the diagram[edit]
I think it would be good if the table and the diagram could be made to agree. At the very least they should probably contain the same terms. Right now, the definition that appears in the table as 'homophone' actually matches the diagram's definition for 'heterograph'. —CodeCat 00:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
