Wouldn't that be a cool thing to be? :-)

The notion that the intelligibility of a language might sometimes be impaired by the presence of two or more terms having the same or very similar spelling and/or pronunciation was expounded by the linguistic geographers around the beginning of the twentieth century - the concept of the 'homonymic clash'. The linguistic geographers were working on modern dialectal material, but their idea of the homonymic clash has been applied on occasion to historical linguistics also.
