The verb 'to muse', the noun 'a muse' and the noun '[a] Mews form one of the sets of homophones listed by the then Poet Laureate Robert Bridges.
(For more, see Bridges homophones). AWE has a category listing our articles on each of these. To these may be added his separate set of homophones of the singular homographs mew, while Awe will also include the pronunciation of the local place-name Meaux.

  • Three noun [[homograph]s, all it may be conjectured with an onomatopoeiic origin, exist:
    • The most everyday mew is the noise made by a cat. This has the related verb
    • 'to mew' |"to utter a mew" (OED, 2020), 'produce the sound] miaow'
