Webster's Coll Dictionary:
homonym: . . . one of two or more words spelled and pronounced alike
but different in meaning . . . (eg, the noun quail and the verb quail).
The Webseter's (Dictionary for Everyday Use) on my shelf says:
homonym: n. a word having the same pronunciation as another but a different
meaning, e.g. air and heir. Also homophone.
