In English sometimes they are pronounced the same or differently.
Bear [1] : Animal
Bear [2] : Carry
Lead [1] : A pliable heavy metal once used in solder and roofing
Lead [2] : To manage a group of people
Lead [3] : A leash or strap used to control or manage an animal or small child
Lead [4] : The writing core of a pencil. Actual metallic lead[1] was never used, but graphite mixed with clay.
Broach, Brooch, led and lead[1] are homonyms but not a problem as the spelling differs. Lead[1] and Lead[2] are pronounced quite differently.
I thought all the dictionaries had multiple entries when one spelling has several meanings. The homonym aspect isn't relevant on source text highlight and look up?
What about common phrases?
