Nir:
What you give are reasons I claim that Mishnaic Hebrew is a different language from Biblical Hebrew, a cognate language, and should be studied as such.
A second point that I’ve noticed is that when one looks at a term that appears to have multiple meanings, when one looks at the underlying action, what one finds is the same action applied to different contexts.
A third point, one must differentiate between simple lexemes and complex lexemes. A complex lexeme is where two or more words are combined to give a different meaning than what each single word has: e.g. “to fish out” has a different meaning than “to fish”.
So when one looks at a snapshot of a language, i.e. the use of a language at one point in time, there are very few exceptions, even in modern languages, that each lexeme has one unique meaning.

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?
