Of course, then, there are the homonyms—a whole different thing entirely: One of two or more words that have the same sound and often the same spelling but differ in meaning, such as bank (embankment) and bank (place where money is kept).

Wait, you’re saying that hominin is a homonym of homonym? And vice versa? Do you supposed hominins used homonyms? And did they listen to them on homophones? I’m confused...
