You havent specified the language, so i wrote all of them in my newly created language where all words are written the same: "m"
So there's only one gender?
No. Its a homograph. All words have different pronunciation and different meaning, so there are multiple genders
Sure, but you only wrote one of them.
If multiple words are written the same in this language, you dont need to write them all individually. They are still pronounced separately
if I said
"here are two different things that are spelled the same: bats"
would I be correct? I'd argue no
That is a feature specific to my newly invented language. Its not copied from english
