The ones with the highest counts I can think of are {ta'} and {mo'}=2C each=
with four. Though for both=2C three of those senses are clearly related: f=
or {ta'}=2C the senses of "accomplish"=2C "accomplishment"=2C and "v7 accom=
plished" are semantically related=2C where for {mo'} it is "n5 because"=2C =
"v9 because of"=2C and "motive=2C reason (slang)". For that reason I have t=
o confess (pardon the pun) a particular liking for {DIS}=2C for which none =
of the three potential meanings ("cave"=2C "year"=2C "to confess") seem to =
be related.
{ta'} is also added to by several words in which it forms a final syllable=
=2C thus adding potentially more confusion=2C as with {lIngta'} "lingta": t=
hose two syllables also form {lIngta'} "X has produced (Y)"=2C {lIng ta'} "=
the emperor produces it"=2C {lIng ta'} "the accomplishment produces it".
