3 of those are basically the same definition. And one of them is just named after another one of them.

English sucks ass and it's all the fault of people who pronounce the word "avove" with two distinct vowel sounds like weirdos.

(Jk jk I don't mean it please don't hurt me wedge/schwa distinguishers.)

Avove? How are you supposed to pronounce it?

For ~~real~~ seal though.

two are proper nouns, so dont count. three mean 'to close something' (more or less). one is an animal.

i see really only two homonyms in total.

Pretty sure seals were named after seals.

If you'd like to have your mind blown by something you haven't ever thought that hard about before in your life, sit down and try to come up with a list for all the definitions and use contexts for the word "set."
