Oops ... got carried away ...
In Response To: Homonyms & antonyms ... ()

... there. Any two words with opposite meanings are antonyms.

What I meant to say here was that any two words with the same sound (and sometimes the same spelling) which have opposite meanings, rather than just different meanings, are both homonyms and antonyms -- and that "raise" and "raze" together are a pair of words which meet both definitions.

Sorry for any confusion.
