bar (pub, block)

can (be able to, container)

c.ock (rooster, penis)

cool (lukewarm, great)

light (pale, unimportant, not heavy)

match (equal, sporting event)

nail (to catch, claw, bolt(?))

rock (stone, style of music)

round (circular, rotation)

tear (to rip, a drop of clear salty liquid)

Words that are both spelled and pronounced the same, but have different meanings are called homonyms.

book (codex, hire)

can (canister, skill)

cool (chilly, excelent)

deck (platform, packet)

flat (apartment, plain)

mean (greedy, intend)

park (playground, maneuver)
