      Interesting. Haven't look into the details but wondering if the "645 meanings" include those in found in archaic/old English usages.

        I didn’t get through the entire interview, but a lot of those “run” definitions mean the thing moves. Dye (the color moves), cheese (goes from moving to not solid) metal (moves when it’s molten), when the clocks inner works move, it means it is running, run with me (hanging out means going - or moving- where I go). Not sure I consider those different meanings. (645?)

              No, I’ve got to get rid of the cookies for this website, but I’m going to have to go back to that an other thread to remember how to do it, lol.
