Other words that sound the same but have two meanings are hump, shag, root and pork.

Forgive me, but that's not quite the same. What you're describing are hetronyms; words that have the same spelling but two meanings. While they're considered a subset of homonyms, they are not quite the same as the oft-miswritten homonyms on the linked page.

While many in the US are fine with heteronyms, there are moral questions regarding homonyms.
