The English language is funny .... not funny-humorous, but funny-weird!
It contains between 750,000 and 1,000,000 words, and yet several words have multiple meanings. These words are known as homographs. For example, the word "trunk" can mean a human torso, an elephant appendage, the main stem of a tree, or car storage space
Here is another word puzzle about homographs.
First determine the word which describes both of the given words/phrases. e.g. if you are given Spheroid and Formal Dance, the homographic word is Ball. Then perform the necessary calculations to get the coordinates of the final. You'll need to know how to calculate the digital root (DR) and alpha sum (AS) for words to complete the calculations. The number of letters in the homograph is indicated by the 'dashes'.
A. Ability / Teaching group---> _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Calculate (AS / 11) - DR.
B. Energy / Nothing --------> _ _ _ . Calculate ((AS - 2) / 7) - DR.
C. Strike / Success ----------> _ _ _ . Calculate (AS - 2) / 5.
D. Hammer / Handle roughly ----------> _ _ _ _ . Calculate (AS + 1) / 6.
E. Social stratum / Taxonomic Category ----------> _ _ _ _ _. Calculate AS / DR.
F. Ethical / Lesson ----------> _ _ _ _ _ . Calculate (AS + DR) / 8.
G. Phase / Produce an event ----> _ _ _ _ _ . Calculate (AS - 38) / DR.
H. Animal offspring / Iceberg chunk ---> _ _ _ _ . Calculate ((AS - 2) / 5) - DR .
The final is at N27 0A.BCD W80 0E.FGH.
The final is a longish hike/bike from the road so bring snacks and water! Final is an ammo can.
