re stress shift in noun/verb pairs.

All the examples given (as far as my usage is concerned anyway) have the stress on the first syllable for nouns and later for verbs. Are there any exceptions to this?
[Ok "fish" as a verb has the stress on the first syllable and "fish" as a noun on the last, but apart from that one]

re homage
I've never heard this as other than a noun and only the one stress pattern and pronounciation. (=hOmij). How else is it pronounced? =homIj, homage (like fromage)?

Edit: of course there are adjective/verb pairs too, such as "absent", "abstract". I think some of the earlier examples were of this type.
