グラス — glass

🥛🌱 グラス is the English loanword: glass and grass both turn into gurasu

Japanese has no separate L and R sound, so English glass and grass both come out as gurasu. Context picks the meaning: a drinking glass (ワイングラス, wine glass) or a lawn (グラス in sports talk). Both words are borrowed from English.
