mǎ: morphine, name of a river, a weight; number; yard; pile; stack; dragonfly; 21st of month (tele.); horse; ant
mà: d (22nd); sacrifice to god of war; scold; abuse; grasshopper

GUESTMARYTEN... This is an ideal gift for children aged 18 and up because it can teach them to think and interact with the many activities Elmo can do. These toys lay the foundation for richer work of the imagination. This isn't a simple mini helicopter.

I think you misunderstood these words. Though they pronounce the same but they are different characters. For example: Xiang ("想"the falling-rising tone):to think, to miss somebody, want to have something; Xiang("象", the falling tone):elephant; Xiang(像,the falling tone): to be like.
