agape – with mouth open OR love.
bass – type of fish OR low, deep voice.
bat - piece of sports equipment OR an animal.
bow – type of knot OR to incline.
down – a lower place OR soft fluff on a bird.
entrance – the way in OR to delight.
evening – smoothing out OR after sunset.
fine – of good quality OR a levy.
