Spellings with more than one meaning

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

104 spellings are claimed by more than one sense. Some are knowingly ambiguous and marked as such; some are shared by senses of different kinds, such as a unit and a technique, which is information and not a mistake. When two senses stand level the engine resolves to neither: it keeps both, a rule abstains, and the question goes to a person. When one outranks the other it wins outright.
