OP Thanks for the link, caradea! And welcome to the board!
Evidently does seems to be one of the more compound homographs...the site gives a great example,
does the buck see the does?
It also gives an example of homographs where the capitalization differs...august and August, and calls these capitonyms. There's a -nym I never heard before!
