Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings. Homographs are words that are spelled the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or pronunciation. Heteronyms are words that are spelled identically but have different meanings when pronounced differently, usually through accenting different parts of the same word. Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or spelling. Homophones are classified as words with two spellings and two meanings, but only one pronunciation.

In recreational
mathematics, a magic square is an arrangement of distinct numbers
(i.e., each number is used once), usually integers, in
a square grid,
where the numbers in each row, and in each column, and the numbers in the main and secondary diagonals, all add up to the same number, called the "magic constant." A magic square has the same number of rows as
it has columns, and in conventional math notation, "n" stands for the number of rows (and
columns) it has. Thus, a magic square
always contains n2 numbers, and its size (the number of
rows [and columns] it has) is described as being "of order n." A magic square that contains the
integers from 1 to n2 is called a normal magic square. (The term "magic square" is also
sometimes used to refer to any of various types ofword squares.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square

"Pretend journalists" are not objective.
The term has been used at least since 1997, although instance of
"mock" news shows with an agenda have been around longer.
The Tuareg inhabit the Saharan
regions of North Africa--Niger, Mali,
Libya, Algeria and Burkina Faso. Tuareg
is an Arabic term meaning abandoned
by God. They call themselves Imohag, translated as free
men.
No one knows the true origin of the Tuareg, where they came from or when
they arrived in the Sahara. Reputedly of
Berber descent, the language of the Tuareg is Tamachek, with their own script
known as Tifinagh, thought to have ancient Libyan roots. Their numbers are unclear, but estimates run
between 300,000 and 1 million. The
Tuareg were recorded by the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th Century BC. The most striking attribute of the Tuareg is
the indigo veil, worn by the men but not the women, giving rise to the popular
name the Blue Men
of the Sahara, orMen of the Veil. Men begin
wearing a veil at the age 25. One of the
traditional dances of the nomadic Tuareg is the 'Tam Tam' where the men on camel circle the women while they play drums and chant. The huts of the Tuareg
nomad are easily constructed, and comprised of
weaved matting and tradition fabrics on a timber frame. Although most Tuareg now practice some degree
of Islam--the Maliki sect of Islam, resulting from the teachings of the great
prophet El Maghili from the early 16th century--they are not considered
Arabic. They have preserved many
pre-Islamic traditions and do not strictly follow many Islamic rituals. Among the Tuareg the women have a great freedom and participate in family and tribal decisions. Descent and
inheritance are both through the maternal line.

A phrase is a group of
words acting as a single part of speech and not containing both a subject and a
verb. It is a part of a sentence, and does not express a complete
thought. The first sentence contains
five phrases: "of words,"
"acting as a single part of speech," "as a single part,"
"of speech," and "not containing both a subject
and a verb." Except for the
phrase beginning with as, all the phrases are acting as
adjectives. The phrase beginning with as is adverbial. http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000014.htm
