You havent specified the language, so i wrote all of them in my newly created language where all words are written the same: "m"

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So there's only one gender?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. Its a homograph. All words have different pronunciation and different meaning, so there are multiple genders

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but you only wrote one of them.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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
