It's somewhat rare, but does occur. One set of words that comes to mind are those spelled "lead" or start with "lead...". They can be the name of the metal or, or as a verb, refer to acts based on using the metal as in "leading", the placing of lead bars between rows of metal type to increase the line spacing. They can also refer to the act of "leading" a horse to water.
