Homonyms in Arabic

الجِناس التَّام

Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but don’t have the same meaning. In Arabic we call this set of words “كلمات الجِناس التَّام” “Al ginas al tam”. Al tam means “complete” because the letters of these words have to agree in number, order and their vocalization.
