Correction, there is a sufficiently wide semantic domain in this WORD 
FORM to allow... It is not one lexeme, but a word form which consists of 
several different lexemes which are homonyms. Otherwise. I agree.

Puns and word plays are usually between different lexemes with the same 
or similar forms, rather than between different senses of the same lexeme.
