Since the two "cleaves" are a subset of homonyms, is there a special name for this? And can you cite other pairs of words having the same spelling but different meanings?


I'd guess not -- ambiguous definitions are given for homonym; here is M-W's 1c def'n: one of two or more words pronounced and spelled alike but different in meaning (as the noun quail and the verb quail).

now, what I want is another pair of words with the same spelling and pronunciation with *opposite meanings.
