Abstract
We focus on a problem of homonymy and polysemy in morphological dictionaries on the example of the Czech morphological dictionary MorfFlex CZ [2]. It is not necessary to distinguish meanings in morphological dictionaries unless the distinction has consequencies in word formation or syntax. The contribution proposes several important rules and principles for achieving consistency.

Notes
- 1.
The homonymy may be divided into homography for the same spelling and homophony for the same pronouncing. In this work, we use the term homonymy as a synonym for homography, in accordance with the traditional Czech terminology.

- 3.
Czech predicatives form a class of words usually ending in -o. They are problematic in terms of POS classification.
