By the way--is -nym related to name?
Yes, Greek ονομα (onoma) 'name' is related to English name and Latin nomen. The -y- crept in from another Greek dialect. It was originally pronounced like an u. Variations between o and u are rather common in many different IE languages.
cleave
What about to, two, and too? Three different words all spelled differently but pronounced the same. Unfortunately, their meanings are not opposites.
