Interesting. Let's look at one of my favorite English examples.
Strike can mean:
-to hit (strike the rock with your staff)
-to miss (in baseball)
[Isn't it the batter who is struck out of play for missing the ball?]
-to start something (strike up the band)
[Isn't it the drums and xylophones and whatever that are struck as the
band begins to play?]
-to stop something (go on strike)
[When struck isn't it the company which is hit with a work stoppage?
The last time I walked a picket line that's what happened.]
to name just a few. Here we have one lexeme with at least two meanings,
plus
two more that are polar opposites of the first two. What exactly is the
"core definition"?
[The four different meanings you use are not so different after all.]
