What is the opposite of a homograph?

The opposite of a homograph is a homophone.

* Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations (e.g., "bow" as in a knot, and "bow" as in a weapon).

* Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings (e.g., "there," "their," and "they're").
