What is the homograph for word curb?

The homograph for "curb" is "curb".

This is a bit of a trick question! Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.

"Curb" has multiple meanings:

* A raised edge of a sidewalk or road: This is the most common meaning.

* To restrain or control: As in, "She tried to curb her anger."

Since both of these meanings are represented by the same word, "curb" is its own homograph!
