Default Semantics

I am attending a short course about Semantics. My teacher said that there are 6 sense relations in which I have problem with two of them.
Please explain me 2 following ones:
1. Hyponymy
( Hyponyms & Superordinates)
2. Homonyny
( Homophones and Homographs)
Help me finding an definition easy to understand and give me some examples! ( I did look up these words in the dictionary but it is very complicated)
Thanks!

Sorry for my late reply. I have enjoyed my Lunar New Year at my place.
I will search these two addresses. They look very useful to me.
Thanks a lot for your help!
:)
