HOMONYMY
HOMONYMY
HOMONYMY is, if things diverse in nature are called by one name [by Analogy, i.e. comparison or proportion]; and HOMONYMS, as they are called, are those things of which the name alone is common, but the aspect or relation of the nature, connected with that name, is different. [The Minerva of SANCTIUS, L. IV. ch. 14. p. 711, etc.] Gnom. on 1Co 8:5; Heb 2:7.
