homonymy
As with other languages, Italian has homonymic features.
In this case, two words which are homonymic puns in the same language generate two different sentences.
A word may have several translations because it is a polysemic or homonymic word (e.g., light, which can be translated as both lumière “light bulb” and léger “low-fat” in French).
Four of these six prepositions which children learn later are homonymic.
