German has none of the traps English has here. Wind the verb and wind the noun are separate words in German — wickeln and der Wind — so the pronunciation problem that catches English learners simply does not arise.
wickeln to wind, to wrap, to change a nappy
One verb across the workshop and the nursery, and German finds nothing odd in that.
der Wind wind — the air
A separate word in German, so none of the English confusion with the verb arises.
kurvenreich winding — of a road
German uses a different word here entirely; the English overlap of winding senses has no counterpart.
