["Nir cohen - Prof. Mat." <nir AT ccet.ufrn.br>]

karl,

>>There’s a major point of disagreement right there—a word can have multiple
translations because of the differences from one language to another. but
within its own milieu, it has one meaning.

here i must side with david. there are three types of phenomena: change
of the word morphology, change of the word semantics, and even bifurcation:
one word is endowed with two different meanings. do you really want to claim
that none of these occur?
