If meaning is to emerge without ambiguity from a language like English, largely uninflected and having many homonyms and homophones, writers must be able to recognize not just the Parts of Speech but also those peripatetic words that wander from one category to another.
homophones: creak/creek; plain/ plane, bow/bough, tear/tare, tear/tier, roe/row, allowed/aloud , etc.; triplets: bawd/bored/board, sword/sawed/soared, cite/sight/sight ; quadruplets: write/right/rite/wright, or/oar/awe/ore --a quintuplet if you allow Aw as in US expression Aw gee!
In my English, as in that of most Americans, bawd/bored/board, sword/sawed/ soared , and or/oar/awe/ore are not homophones; I pronounce bawd/sawed differently from board and or/oar/ore differently from awe .
