Presumably the female version of a homonym?

I don't think so. Homonym has an actual meaning, whereas womonym would be a female nym.

I do believe I made this word up last year, on the day before Thanksgiving, while driving from Connecticut to Pittsburgh. The first version of Wordie (intended for an audience of three) was written on that trip. I didn't know what a homonym was, but it seemed like it needed a womonym to go with it.

Um, not that I have anything against homonyms, either by themselves or with each other.

John, it just dawned on me--does this mean that Wordie is about to have its first birthday?

Ooo! Can somebody versed in graphic design put out the Wordie version of a Google doodle? I know that it would be completely useless, but I think that a birthday necessitates a little frivolity. Not that I'm thinking of anyone in particular....

Rees, you're right, Wordie turns one in a couple of weeks! I just looked it up--the official birthday is November 25. On that day last year, Wordie got 5 unique visits, sort of: kad, msc, and me, testing three different browsers :-)
