What the homonym for stagnant?

There isn't a perfect homonym for "stagnant," meaning "not flowing or moving." Homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

However, there are some words that sound similar and could be used in certain contexts:

* "Staggered" can mean to walk unsteadily or to be arranged in a staggered pattern. While not exactly the same, it could be used to describe something that is not moving smoothly or consistently.

* "Stank" is the past tense of "stink" and while it's not related to the meaning of "stagnant" in terms of movement, it can be used figuratively to describe something that is unpleasant and stale.

Ultimately, the best way to convey the meaning of "stagnant" would be to use a synonym such as:

* Still

* Motionless

* Inactive

* Dormant

The specific word you choose will depend on the context of your sentence.
