What is a homograph for crane?

A homograph for "crane" is crane.

This is a bit of a trick question! "Crane" can refer to both:

* A large bird with long legs and a long neck: This is the most common meaning.

* A machine used for lifting heavy objects: This is a different meaning altogether, but it's spelled the same.

Since the word is spelled the same but has different meanings, it is considered a homograph.
