Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I am quite well known, with many uses Though I can't help one find things that he loses. I have two names with different meaning That sound the same when heard in speaking. There are more lines to this that I can add if no one can get it, but I want to see how hard it is with just these first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) I knew it wasn't correct. There are a bunch of them I know but I can't bring it to the top of my head!! Edit: You should put 'different' in between 'two' and 'names', I thought the names were the same.

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Not any homophone, I fail to see how that would be very useful. Also, this is only one thing, not two. The homophone(which is only somewhat a homophone) is of two different things, but when both are applied to a specific thing, they both come out to be the same(What you're looking for). I know it sounds complicated, I'll probably add a few more lines soon to give you a better idea of what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 well? I am quite well known, with many uses (stores water/oil/mining use) Though I can't help one find things that he loses. (a wishing well) I have two names with different meaning (the noun or the adjective for good) That sound the same when heard in speaking. (well, is your well well?)

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Interesting answer Jahudo. Since no one is getting it, I will add two more lines(though they might make you even more confused than ever): I am quite well known, with many uses Though I can't help one find things that he loses. I have two names with different meaning That sound the same when heard in speaking. My initial purpose was not decoration Yet many continued with experimentation. I have more lines that get progressively more obvious, but I'll save those for later. I'm not very good at making these kinds of puzzles, and this is the first I've made, so it might not be all that clear yet. Sorry.

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 No, sorry, though those don't sound similar. so you ARE talking about a homonym? I was thinking you were wanting one word with two meanings. Now I'm confused! I'm going to have to go back and read all the posts. What I meant was either Laptop (whose homonym is one's "lap top") OR Notebook - meaning laptop - (whose homonym would be Notebook - meaning note paper that is bound together.) I was making two seperate guesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Unreality: No, it does not matter at all. It just sounds better than he/she loses. Edited July 4, 2008 by Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 two names with different meaning That sound the same when heard in speaking. Isn't that the very definition of a HOMONYM? Or am I that far removed from the third grade?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making two seperate guesses I know i sounds complicated, I'll try to explain without giving anything away: There is only one object. It has two different names that when thought about seperately could be two different things. However, if you said the two names out loud, they would sound almost identical. You don't have to give me two answers. There is one answer with two names, either will do. The fact that it has two different but similar sounding names was a clue as to what it was. Hopefully you find this helpful. And I never said there was no homonym or homophone involved. Edited July 4, 2008 by Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
