What's the difference between homonomy and homonymy?
Homonomy
Definition:
(n.) The homology of parts arranged on transverse axes.
Example Sentences:
(1) A systems analysis of the affective domain is proposed as most adequately performing the classification functions of grouping elements to emphasize their autonomy and homonomy, indicate their nature and degree of relatedness, and structurally represent abstract conceptualizations of this domain.
(2) For the static phenomena (such as homology, homonomy, systematic weight, and "Type") there is no causal base, although these principles are responsible for all phenomena of predictable order in the living world.
Homonymy
Definition:
(n.) Sameness of name or designation; identity in relations.
(n.) Sameness of name or designation of things or persons which are different; ambiguity.
Example Sentences:
(1) If one adds the first three letters of the first name, the gain in the quantity of information is 1.68 bits and the rate of homonymy becomes 0.087%.
(2) Ancillary simulations using the same network were able to deal with the homonymy problem and the generation of forms like "ated" from "ate".

(8) In the first study, the degree of homonymy reflected in the speech of 14 SLI children was found to resemble that seen in the speech of a group of language-matched children with normal language (NL).
(9) An examination of the sound changes that contributed to the children's use of homonymy suggested that homonyms arising from prevocalic voicing were more frequent in the speech of the NL children.
(10) The work has two major themes--linguistic relativity and language change--with ancillary discussions of language in general and of homonymy.
(11) In this investigation, we attempted to determine whether in such instances unusual sound changes enable children to avoid potential homonymy with other words in their lexicons.

(15) Data on homonymy and reduplication from a longitudinal study will be considered, which show that: (a) such strategies can appear later in the child's linguistic development than it has been proposed; (b) the lexical item has to be considered a central unit, beyond the earliest stages, in the acquisition of phonology.
