Doesn't every language have quirks like this? My native language, Russian, has the same problem with the word "organ", but at least its two meanings are pronounced with different stressed syllables. There's also the word "замок", can mean a lock or a castle, again depending on which syllable is stressed. > flute-like instrument is called "recorder" TIL. This name makes no sense to me.
