<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">as to Homonyms, there is a fine German party game called "Teekesselchenraten" ("guessing teapots"). Two people clandestinely agree on a homonym, called "Teekesselchen" (little teapot). Each gives a hint, then the rest of the party has to make guesses. If they hit it, the next team takes over, if not, another hint has to be given by each. And so on. Th longer the party takes to make the right guess, the better the team scores (that depends a lot on the fairness of the hints of course).</font></div>
