No and know?
Are the words "no" and "know" called "homonyms" or "homophones"?
I'd like to know which word was used earlier than another, "homonyms" and "homophones".

Anonymous Are the words "no" and "know" called "homonyms" or "homophones"? They are homophones and heterographs (same sound and different spellings). According to some definitions (where homophone = homonym), they are also homonyms.
