Hi John,
One of the problem I face is about the meaning of 'meaning'. When
there are multitudes listed under a word in a lexicon/dictionary, are
they all what we call 'meaning'? Lot's of them I see as not 'meaning'
as such, but a certain usage. Someone argued one time on a different
list that 'evening' (also) means 'afternoon' or 'late afternoon', I
don't recall clearly. Lo, there is a such in any decent English
dictionary. But, looking carefully, it is a Southern dialect. It's
usage; hardly a meaning of a word.
