(sound meaning noise) Is he of sound mind? (sound meaning in good condition) Homograph means that the words have the same spelling, but different meaning (regardless of pronunciation). Homonym means that the words have the same spelling, and the same pronunciation, but a different meaning. Therefore all homonyms are homophones.
