Barry,
"The captain can (1)run the ship with a (2)run in her stocking while her
crew
members (3)run a race on the (4)run on deck 10."
1 - > verb "to make something (the ship) move swiftly in a line" and if
it is not moving > "to make an engine act in the same way that it would
were it moving but with the gears that make it move no longer engaged"
2 -> noun "a tear in an object (stocking) created by an action whose
motion resembles a swift movement in a straight line"
3 -> noun "to perform an action by moving swiftly in a line" (that line
could be physical or the line of time)
4-> noun - unfortunately I was unable to find out what the run of a deck
is but I would imagine that it is an aspect where its shape curves
(inward or outward) and that rate of curvature is sharper than the
surrounding area hence it appears to run or to create a visual track
upon which something could run
Each use of the word run describes a very different noun or action,
however they seem to be related very clearly.
Do you not see that?
