A homonym is a single word pronounced in the same way but with different significations, like pais ("boy"); for it means a son and a young child and a slave.1There we have it. These meanings are the same as those found in our current Greek lexicons. While this is not groundbreaking, I, nonetheless, find such discoveries interesting.
