English: homonyms: bite and bight
Tutoring English, homonyms are always interesting. The tutor mentions bite and bight.
The following is according to my understanding.
Most people will probably agree that “bite” means a morsel of food. However, “bight” has been coming up in my reading lately.
Bight, in the marine context, can be a gradual inward curve, forming a subtle bay, along the shore.
