	AutoAntonym -- a word that means the opposite of what
	it means.  Example:

		cleave -- to cut into two pieces

		cleave -- to unite together as one


	(By the way, according to the OED, the above two words have
	entirely different derivations.  It is something of an accident
	that they sound and look alike.)
