Summary/Abstract: The inventary of homonyms in the usual dictionaries of Romanian language was a problem from the beginning. Being a linguistic phenomenon, homonyms was studied in semantical domain and in the studies of general linguistics. Homonymy must be based on certain principles, to take into consideration the words history and etymology, grammar and semantics. Most of the dictionaries, for having a safe meaning they use only verified homonyms, from etymological point of view. So, being a problematic category, lexico-grammatical homonyms weren't always included in the dictionaries. In this analyze, my goal will be to identify and analyze lexico-grammatical homonyms: cască, cer, moare, poartă, vin.
