Context:
Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link computers CB-radio-style, via phone lines. Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground. About two-thirds of the Well's 3,000 subscribers live in the Bay Area. The quake knocked The Well out for six hours, but when it came back up, it teemed with emotional first-hand reports.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Identify" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "identify," and the context is "...the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves." I need to determine the correct sense of "identify" here. I've got several candidates: discover, distinguish, etc. (which is irrelevant), "consider to be equal or the same" (which I suspect is wrong given the typical usage), "recognize as being; establish the identity," and "give the name or identifying characteristics of."

Hmm, what do people *do* with initials or nicknames? They use them to "identify themselves." Does that mean establish their identity or to give a name? My initial thought is establish identity. Let's look at the definitions more closely.

Candidate 3: "recognize as being; establish the identity." This seems promising. "Subscribers use initials to *establish their own identity*."

Candidate 5: "give the name or identifying characteristics of." Okay, that works too. "Subscribers use nicknames to *name/identify* themselves."

Wait, the fixed collocation "identify oneself" often means to establish one's identity. But here, the initials themselves *are* the name. Let's see what the verb frames tell me.

Sense 3: "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something."
Sense 5: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name."

Okay, so if someone uses a nickname, are they giving a name, or establishing their identity? They *are* giving a name, but using it to "identify themselves" is closer to the fixed expression, even though initials are literally names.

Let's look at it using WN:
Sense 3: "recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something" (synonyms=place). "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster".
Sense 5: "give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property" (synonyms=name). "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal", "The almanac identifies the auspicious months".

I am tending towards sense 3.

If I use a nickname to identify myself, I am giving a name to refer to myself.
"the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."
If they use initials to identify themselves, they are giving a name. Nicknames are names.
Synonym for candidate 5 is "name". "Subscribers use [nicknames] to name themselves" makes sense.
But wait! "Identify oneself" is a fixed collocation meaning to establish one's identity. But here, the initials ARE the name. "use to identify themselves" -> "use to refer to themselves by name".

Let's check the verb frames for identify.
Sense 3: recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something.
Sense 5: give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name.

Could it be 3? "establish the identity of someone or something". "He identified himself as an agent."
In WN:
name, identify (give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name or some other identifying characteristic property) "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal"; "The almanac identifies the auspicious months"
identify, place (recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something) "She identified the man on the 'wanted' poster"

Let's look at the exact wording: "the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves."
What if we substitute the definitions:
"...use to establish the identity of themselves"
"...use to give the name or identifying characteristics of themselves"
"...use to refer to themselves by name"

I'm gravitating towards the "establish the identity" sense, even though initials *are* literally names. But I wonder if the common usage of the collocation "identify oneself" tips the scales.

Alright, let's use SemCor. "identify oneself" links to identify%2:31:00 (Sense 3). "He refused to identify himself." — this clearly means establish identity. Does SemCor provide any instances of identify%2:32:00 (Sense 5)? "Many senators were named in connection with the scandal." (The primary word here is 'named').

In this context, they use initials to identify themselves. The initials serve to establish who they are.

Let's review the candidates: Sense 3 or Sense 5.

Sense 3 (identify%2:31:00::): recognize as being; establish the identity of someone or something is more likely based on the collocation and SemCor. It also has a frequency count of 84 in SemCor. While Sense 5 (

**Analyzing the Context of "The Avenues"**

Okay, so I'm in this old building, and the context is "the avenues." Right away, my mind jumps to San Francisco. I know "the avenues" is used informally to refer to the Richmond and Sunset districts there. It's not a general metaphor; it's a specific, localized reference to a geographic area defined by its streets.

So, I need to pinpoint the correct sense of "avenues." My initial thought is to make sure it's not a metaphorical "line of approach." No, no. This is literal. We're talking about physical streets. It's about a location, not a concept.

I'm pretty sure it's the second sense, the literal one: "a wide street or thoroughfare." It's derived from that – these are wide, numbered streets that define the neighborhoods. Let me just confirm that… Yep. Sense 1 is metaphorical. Sense 2 is the literal meaning.

Yes, “I was in the avenues” explicitly references the neighborhood, not a metaphorical direction. It's definitely the wide streets and thoroughfares. Sense 2 is the clear winner here.

**Analyzing the Context of "Floor"**

Okay, here's the breakdown. The lemma I'm focusing on is "floor." The context I have is: "I was in the avenues, on the third *floor* of an old building..." Right away, it's clear we're dealing with the architectural sense of "floor," specifically a level within a building. I need to make sure I identify this correctly.

I'm comparing this to the provided senses. Let's look at the candidates: Sense 6 is defined as "a structure consisting of a room or set of rooms at a single position along a vertical scale," and the synonyms listed are "level," and "storey" or "story". That definitely captures the idea of a level within a building. Then, Sense 8, describes "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)" with the synonym "flooring."

The context, "third floor of an old building," strongly matches Sense 6. There's no ambiguity, the "third floor" is referring directly to a level of the structure. Sense 8, dealing with the surface one would walk on, isn't applicable in this example. I'm going to lock in Sense 6 as the correct interpretation for this usage.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Old" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "old" as it's used in "third floor of an old building." Let's break this down systematically. I need to consider all the candidate senses and see which fits best.

My initial scan of the senses yields a few possibilities, but the one that truly resonates is number four. It's spot on: "of long duration; not new." That definition, with its examples of "old tradition; old house," immediately aligns with the concept of a building that has existed for a significant amount of time and isn't a brand-new construction.

Let me just do a quick sanity check. Sense 4: "of long duration; not new" definitely makes the most sense. This is not a matter of familiarity (sense 1), genuine-ness (sense 2), age of a person (sense 3), a previous owner (sense 5), experience (sense 6), a past state (sense 7) or an early stage (sense 8). It's a matter of the age of the structure itself. The phrase "old building" falls squarely into that category. So yes, sense 4 is the clear winner. The sense index is, therefore, 4.

**Analyzing the Context of "Building"**

Okay, so the target is "building" – simple enough, and the surface form matches the lemma. The context provides crucial information: "...I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old building, and except for my heart..." I need to identify the intended sense from the available candidates: commercial activity, the act of constructing, a structure, and the occupants.

Given the phrase "third floor of an old building," the context heavily favors the sense of a physical structure. It's not about the *act* of constructing, nor the *commercial activity* that *might* occur within it, or the *people* inside. The focus is on the location, the space I'm occupying: the "third floor *of* an old building." Therefore, I'm going with sense 3, "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place." It's a straightforward determination based on the provided context.

**Analyzing "Heart" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "heart". The context, "... except for my heart (Beat, BEAT!) I'm OK," immediately brings to mind the physiological sense. The "Beat, BEAT!" clearly indicates a rapid, possibly anxious or excited, beating of the *organ* itself. I need to be precise, so I'm looking for the most accurate definition.

Let's see…sense number 6: "the hollow muscular organ located behind the sternum and between the lungs; its rhythmic contractions move the blood through the body." That nails it. The description perfectly captures the physical aspect, the location, and the function of the *heart* as a pump. Furthermore, the example provided, "he stood still, his heart thumping wildly," is spot-on in terms of mirroring the context I have. That's a strong confirmation.

Okay, the target is "fall" in its "fallen" form. The context is "Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor." I need to determine the specific sense of "fall" being used here.

My initial thought is that "things" have lost their upright position or dropped to the ground. Let's look at the candidate senses. There's "fall%2:38:15" – losing an upright position suddenly, like a vase tipping over – and "fall%2:38:03" – descending in free fall under gravity, like a branch dropping.

Considering the earthquake context, do file cabinets "fall over" or "fall down"? Probably a combination, actually. File cabinets likely tip over, but the poster frames might fall *from* the walls. Sense 8 seems like a good fit, similar to the vase example, but sense 22, the free fall definition, is also highly relevant.

Could the meaning be something like a temperature dropping? No, that's not right. The key is that "everything" is on the floor, and I'm dealing with physical objects. Both senses 8 and 22 are relevant. WordNet's "lose an upright position suddenly" covers tipping, and "descend in free fall" covers things simply falling. So, a poster frame falling from a wall is free fall; a file cabinet tipping over is the other.

So what's the broader sense in this phrase? If I see this in a corpus like SemCor, how would it be marked? "Everything had fallen" implies a general sense of dropping or falling down. Hmm, I should check some examples from SemCor or similar corpora. But wait, I'm thinking... the sentence "everything had fallen" implies that it is from a force, for instance gravity.

Let's look at the sentence again: "...and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor." In this situation, sense 22, "descend in free fall," seems most fundamental. The poster frames are falling *from* the walls, file cabinets are losing their upright position, but in general, all the objects were dropping.

Now, let's go back and examine the WordNet definitions very carefully. Sense 8: "lose an upright position suddenly," with the synonym "fall down". Sense 22: "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity". In most Word Sense Disambiguation datasets, both senses are involved: things falling off shelves would be under "descend in free fall," and things falling down (file cabinets) would be under "lose upright position". And poster frames that fell to the floor would be a descent under gravity.

So, let's go with 22, the "descend in free fall under the influence of gravity". It's the most general and captures the core physical action. Wait, "everything *had* fallen", not "everything had fallen down." If it said "fallen down" it would be 8, but because it says "fallen", I select 22. So, I will go with 22.

**Analyzing the Word "Poster" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "poster," and the context mentions "broken poster frames with glass on the floor." My initial thought is to consider the possible senses of "poster" based on my knowledge. The possibilities that come to mind are: a sign, like an advertisement; a horse; or a person who puts up bills. But, "poster frames"... that's the key. I need to make a solid selection of the proper sense.

Let me think. Ah! "Poster frames" - they hold posters. This immediately steers me toward the first sense, the advertisement or notice. Even if it were a decorative poster in a home, the WordNet definition of a printed sheet aligns with that first sense. I'll review my options one last time to confirm: a sign, a horse, or a bill-paster.

Yes, sense number one is definitely the best fit. It is the obvious choice given the immediate context.

**Analyzing the Context of "Frames"**

Okay, so the target is "frame" but it appears as "frames" in this sentence: "...broken poster frames with glass on the floor...". I need to figure out what "frames" means here. Based on the surrounding words, it's pretty clear we're talking about the physical structure that holds a poster.

Now, let's look at the candidate senses. I've got:

1.  A framework that supports and protects a picture or a mirror. Synonyms include "framing." The example is even talking about a *frame* being more valuable than the object it holds – that's potentially useful.
2.  A single one of a series of still transparent pictures forming a film. This is probably related to the film industry.
3.  The internal supporting structure that gives an artifact its shape.

Considering the context, sense 1 is the clear winner. The definition of a "framework that supports and protects a picture or a mirror" lines up perfectly with "poster frames". It's a straightforward match; no further analysis is needed.

**Analyzing the Context of "Glass"**

Okay, so the target word is "glass," and it's in the sentence about broken poster frames and a messy scene. My expertise immediately tells me that "glass" could have several meanings. Let's break down the possibilities, keeping in mind the visual cue of "broken poster frames."

First, and most obviously, **candidate 1**, the literal material itself, a brittle, transparent solid with an irregular atomic structure, that's definitely a contender. It's the standard definition.

Then, there is an interesting possibility that it's being used as slang for **methamphetamine**, which is plausible because of the environment, but highly unlikely given the immediate context of broken poster frames. That seems like a stretch, so I'll put that aside for now.

**Candidate 3**, a mirror, is another possibility because it is a transparent solid, but mirrors usually aren't in poster frames.

A small refracting telescope, **candidate 4**, is a nice thought, but again, unlikely in this scenario, so I'll drop that.

**Candidate 5**, the quantity a glass will hold, is definitely out. It has nothing to do with the frame.

Then, there's **candidate 6**, a drinking glass, and **candidate 7**, glassware collectively, but the broken frames imply a flat sheet of glass. A drinking glass wouldn't protect a poster and wouldn't be in a frame, and glassware is too broad.

Therefore, considering the context of broken poster frames, **candidate 1**, the material itself, is the clear winner. The other possibilities are either too specific or not applicable to the immediate description of a broken poster frame. It's the most direct and logical interpretation. The "glass" is most likely the brittle material that protects the poster.

**Analyzing the Context of "Floor"**

Okay, the target word is "floor," and the surface form is also "floor." The context is about a messy Bolinas scene: "broken poster frames with glass on the floor." My job now is to pinpoint the correct indexed sense from the candidate list. Let's see...

I have these options: the lower inside surface, the ground, a lower limit, a room in an exchange, the occupants, the inside lower horizontal surface (flooring), a parliamentary right, a legislative hall, the bottom of a lake, or a structure (like a story).

Considering the sentence, "broken poster frames with glass on the floor," I'm immediately drawn to the idea of the inside lower horizontal surface of a room. Wait a second, the sentence previously mentioned "the third floor of an old building", so I'll check to see if that helps narrow down my choices. Yes, the target word is marked as "<t>floor</t>" within the phrase, "broken poster frames with glass on the <t>floor</t>". This clearly means it refers to the physical surface within the room, and not the structural sense of the level.

That makes sense number 6, "the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure)," the most logical fit. The example of "they needed rugs to cover the bare floors" is a good match.
Therefore, sense 6 is the clear winner.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Open" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "open," and the surface form is just "open" as well, straightforward enough. The context is "file cabinets <t>open</t> or dumped onto the floor. 11:59 p.m." My initial thought is that "open" here clearly means the file cabinets aren't closed. The drawers are, well, not shut.

Let's look at the sense options. I see 21 potential meanings, ranging from "susceptible" and "vulnerable" (definitely not right) to things like "public" and "unrestricted," which are possible but seem a bit broad. "Affording free passage" is closer, and "unobstructed" also gets me thinking. "Used of mouth or eyes" is irrelevant. "Available" is a nonstarter. "Not shut or closed" seems like a winner.

Ah, here it is: sense 10, "affording unobstructed entrance and exit; not shut or closed." The examples given are "an open door; they left the door open." Bingo! "File cabinets open" implies drawers that are not shut. Sense 16, "not sealed or having been unsealed" is also similar but not a perfect match. "Not shut or closed" perfectly captures what's going on with the file cabinets in this sentence. Therefore, sense 10 is definitively the correct one.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Floor"**

Okay, so the target is the word "floor" in the context of "dumped onto the floor." My initial thought is to zero in on the immediate context: we're talking about being on the third floor and then returning to a scene of chaos - broken frames, glass, and file cabinets. This suggests a physical *surface* of some kind.

Let's quickly run through the senses and weed out the irrelevant ones. "Trading floor" (1) and "legislative hall" (4) are clearly off. "Lower limit" (2) doesn't make sense here. "Bottom surface of lake" (6) and "ground on which people/animals move about" (10) are possible but seem less direct than what I'm looking for. "Storey" (9) is related, but not the same concept. "Occupants" (7) and "right to address" (8) are totally unrelated to the physical destruction I'm envisioning.

That leaves us with: "lower inside surface of hollow structure" (3) and "inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room)" (5). Thinking about those fallen file cabinets, and glass on the floor, the latter, *sense 5*, fits perfectly. It describes that surface within a room, precisely where these items would have landed. Therefore, sense 5, is the correct interpretation.

**Deconstructing "Favorite" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "favorite," and the context is "I was in my favorite watering hole..." Immediately, I'm already sifting through the potential senses. We've got two main contenders: the first, a sense of personal preference, something held above all others; and the second, something that's generally popular.

Given the phrase, "my favorite watering hole," the second sense feels immediately wrong. It's not about public appeal. It's about *my* preference. The language suggests a deeply personal connection, a place the speaker chooses above all others. This screams Sense 1 – the one that encapsulates "preferred above all others and treated with partiality." "Favored," "best-loved," "pet," maybe even "preferent" could be synonymous.

Therefore, within this very specific context, I'm confident that Sense 1 is the most accurate and nuanced understanding of "favorite." It's not a matter of general popularity; it's a matter of intensely personal preference and favoritism. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Waiting"**

Okay, so the lemma is "wait," and the surface form is "waiting." The context is: "...I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start." My initial thought is to consider the potential senses here. I've got a few candidates:

1.  "wait before acting" – that's a possibility, but doesn't feel like the best fit here. It's too general.
2.  "look forward to the probable occurrence of" - this could work, but seems a bit abstract given the context.
3.  "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something" - this definitely has potential! The location (watering hole) and the action ("waiting for the game") seem to align perfectly with this.
4.  "serve as a waiter or waitress" - absolutely not relevant in this context.

Now, considering the provided senses, and thinking about the physical aspect, it’s all making sense. The person is *physically* present in the bar and *anticipating* the game. Sense 3, "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something," fits like a glove. The phrase "waiting for" something to happen while staying somewhere is *typically* sense 3. Think, "I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets." Wait for the game to start = stay and anticipate.

Let's double-check Sense 3's definition: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." Yes, that’s it. Comparing that to Sense 2, "look forward to the probable occurrence of (expect, look, await)," I see that Sense 2 would *generally* be used without "for" in the same *physical staying* context, or in a more abstract context. For example, "I await the news". But here, "Wait for the game to start" is related to staying in a place.

Given all of this, I'm confident that sense 3 is the best match for the intended meaning.

**Analyzing "Game" in the Context of a Historic Earthquake**

Okay, the target word is "game," and the context is "JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin..." My expert intuition immediately tells me this is likely referencing the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The "game" would be the start of the 1989 World Series, likely Game 3.

So, "game" here clearly refers to a sports match, a specific play within a larger context. I need to narrow down the specific sense. Let's see... I have two candidates: "game%1:04:03:: - a single play of a sport or other contest" and "game%1:04:00:: - a contest with rules to determine a winner."

Given the phrase "waiting for the game to start," it strongly suggests a single, defined instance – that specific match about to begin. The earthquake happened just before the start of the baseball game, which started at 5:04 pm. That's a strong clue.

The "temblor" itself is the key here. The phrasing is "waiting for the game to start", meaning a specific match, a single play of a sport or other contest, a specific instance of a game. "Game%1:04:03::" fits that perfectly: "a single play of a sport or other contest."

Now, let's double-check between candidate 6 and 9 to be absolutely sure. Sense 6 is the abstract concept of a game. Like Monopoly, baseball, tag. "you need four people to play this game." Sense 9, on the other hand, is an *instance* of a game being played. The game lasted two hours, for example. The "waiting for the game to start" phrase refers to the specific instance, the single match about to begin.

Yes, sense 9, "a single play of a sport or other contest," is the correct semantic representation for "game" in this context. It's the only one that makes complete sense with the given context. Done.

**Analyzing the Semantic Sense of "Start"**

Okay, so I'm presented with "waiting for the game to start," and I need to pinpoint the precise meaning of "start" here. My initial thought is it's about the game *beginning* or *commencing*, but I need to be more precise. Let's run through the candidates.

I've got a list of WordNet senses, and I'm quickly filtering out the obviously irrelevant ones like "move or jump suddenly" or "bulge outward." I'm honing in on options like "take the first step," "begin or set in motion," "have a beginning," and specifically, the transitive and intransitive forms of "begin."

The question is, does the game *take a first step* (2), or does it *have a beginning in a temporal sense* (11), or is it about *begin[ning] or set[ting] in motion* (3)? The examples in the WordNet entries are key. `start%2:42:00` (11) with examples like "The second movement begins after the Allegro" is a strong contender. `start%2:38:00` (3) is more about action. I'm focusing on "temporal" here.

Let's test with "game" + "start."  When an event begins, is it (11) "have a beginning in a temporal... sense," or is it something else?  `begin%2:42:00` and `start%2:42:00` both point to temporal beginnings.

But what about "take the first step?"  `begin%2:30:01` and `start%2:30:00` seem more active. Looking more closely at the "temporal" sense (11) feels right. "The meeting starts at 8." "The game starts at 8."

Wait, what about that "set in motion" sense? That's more about physically starting something. The game isn't *getting* physically underway.  The more accurate meaning here is temporal. I can picture a meeting starting. It's not about taking the first step.

The *game* is *having a beginning*, at a specific time.

Now, let's review: I'm eliminating the agentive senses. I'm choosing between "begin or set in motion" (3), and "have a beginning, in a temporal... sense" (11). I think for the context "waiting for the game to start," the "temporal" sense is a better fit.

Let's test with other verbs.

"The war started" - I remember WordNet has transitive "Iraqis began hostilities." I'll check that. That helps refine it.

Ah, yes. `start%2:42:00` (11). "Have a beginning in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense." That's the one. "The movie starts at 9" -> *temporal beginning*. That's it!

So, for "waiting for the game to start," it's about waiting for the event to *begin* at a specific time.

Now, let's review all.

1. "Take first steps." - This isn't a *first step*.
2. "Begin/set in motion" - Feels a little active.
3. "Temporal, spatial or evaluative beginning." - The winner.
4. Set in motion.
5. "Have a beginning characterized in some specified way." - No.

The temporal sense is most applicable here.  "The game is a temporal event, so it has a beginning in a temporal sense." Let's check candidate 11 one last time. "Have a beginning in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense." "The meeting is scheduled to start at 9" - same.

Therefore, for "waiting for the game to start," the intended meaning is the temporal "have a beginning in a temporal sense" sense (11).

**Analyzing the Usage of "Felt"**

Okay, so the task at hand is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "felt" in this specific sentence: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine..." The target lemma is "feel," and the surface form is "felt." The context clearly points to a physical sensation – the experience of an earthquake. I've got to find the sense that best captures that.

Looking at the candidates, it's immediately clear that candidate 9, which defines "feel" as "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles," is the frontrunner. The example sentences, like "He felt the wind," and "She felt an object brushing her arm," perfectly align with the experience of sensing the temblor. The synonyms listed, "sense," further reinforce this interpretation. "Felt the temblor" is a textbook example of this sense in action.

Candidate 5, "undergo passive experience of," is less precise, in that experiencing an event is not necessarily the focus. While it is true that one *undergoes* the event, Candidate 9 better represents the physical sensation component.

**Analyzing the Verb "Begin" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "begin" and the context is "I felt the temblor begin..." My initial thought is to figure out the specific sense of "begin" here. First, "temblor" means earthquake, so it's a temporal event. Now, let's look at the candidates.

*   1.  "Be the first item" - Nope, doesn't fit.
*   2.  "Accomplish in the least degree" - No, wrong direction.
*   3.  "Have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense" - Could be, but let's see. Examples are "The DMZ begins right over the hill" or "The second movement begins after the Allegro."
*   4.  "Begin an event implied by direct object" - Not applicable here, there isn't a direct object directly.
*   5.  "Have a beginning, of a temporal event" - This seems promising: "WW II began in 1939," "The company's Asia tour begins next month." The "temblor" is definitely a temporal event!

I think I need to compare 3 and 5. Going back to WordNet, `begin%2:42:00` is general "have a beginning" whereas `begin%2:42:04` is specific, temporal. In "I felt the temblor begin", it's intransitive "the temblor begin[s]". Is this sense 5 or 3? Hmm...

I'm ruling out sense 10 "take the first steps..." because a temblor doesn't take steps. Also, 9 "cause to start" (like in "The Iraqis began hostilities") doesn't fit either. It seems most appropriate that it is, instead, sense 5: "have a beginning, of a temporal event". A temblor *is* a temporal event.

Just to be sure, let's double-check sense 5. Its definition and examples support the fit, "WW II began in 1939". Also, it is a temporal event. The word hierarchy of the WordNet supports this conclusion: "temblor" is an event. "Felt the temblor begin" means the event started. Sense 5 it is!

Right, so what senses are we dealing with here? I've got two candidates. Sense 1 is "hit at an angle." Doesn't seem right. The other, Sense 2, "throw a glance at; take a brief look at," with synonyms like "peek," "glint," that's the more likely candidate, given the context. They *looked* at something, briefly. Yup, makes perfect sense, especially with that guilty smile – suggests a quick, covert look. Sense 2 fits the bill perfectly. Case closed.

The context is "in my favorite watering hole," and the phrase is "...glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words..." My initial thought is to consider whether "table" refers to the physical object (sense 2) or the group of people sitting at a table (sense 1).

The phrase "glanced at the table next to mine" is the key here. It's leading me to consider that this might be metonymy, where "table" represents the people. However, "we both mouthed the words" strongly implies interaction with another person. So, the question is, is it the table as in the physical object, the person or the people AT the table?

I'm leaning toward the physical "table" (sense 2), but I need to be sure. "Mine" usually refers to my table. The person is next to "my table".  It's unlikely that "mine" would refer to "my company of people." It feels a bit clunky. "Reserved a table" (sense 5) does suggest a location, but in a bar, it's more straightforward to think about the physical piece of furniture. "glanced at the table next to mine" – the person there is the implied recipient of the glance.

Let's check the senses again: Sense 2, "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top," seems most likely given the setting. But how does this relate to "smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed..."? That *suggests* eye contact with a person... a person *at* the table!

Yes, it's a spatial reference point. "Table" is the piece of furniture. I am glancing at *the table*, which serves as a reference point for the person sitting there.  So, "the table next to mine" is definitely the physical piece of furniture. Therefore, I will output sense 2.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Next"**

Okay, so the target lemma here is "next," and the surface form is, of course, "next" as well. I've got this context: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile..." Now, my focus is on disambiguating the sense of "next" in this sentence. Let's see, the candidate senses are: "succeeding" (immediately following in time or order), "close" (nearest in space or position, like adjacent), and "incoming" (elected but not yet serving).

Alright, the key is the noun the word "next" is modifying - "table." The phrase is "the table next to mine". The context is physical, describing a location. Clearly, the reference is to a table's spatial relationship to my own – it's physically nearby. "Succeeding" and "incoming" just don't fit; they are temporal or political, respectively. It’s definitely not about something following in time, or an incoming elected official.

Therefore, sense 2, the "close" sense, the spatial proximity sense, is the only one that makes logical sense here. It's the table that is nearest in space. The phrase describes a direct, adjacent spatial relationship. Simple!

**Analyzing the "Guilty Smile"**

Okay, here's how I'm breaking down this phrase: "smiled that guilty smile." The key here is that "guilty" is modifying "smile," right? That's the core of the interpretive challenge. My first thought, automatically, is the connotation of shared embarrassment or perhaps even a little thrill at the unexpectedness of the moment, realizing an earthquake is happening with someone else.

Let's look at the candidate senses. We have one referencing actual culpability – being responsible for a bad act. Then the other involves *showing* a sense of guilt, the *appearance* of guilt: a "guilty look" or a shamefaced expression.

It's clear to me that sense 2 is the correct interpretation. The "guilty smile" isn't suggesting that anyone *caused* the earthquake, not in this context! It's about the outward expression, the outward appearance. It functions grammatically the same way as "a guilty look," which clearly denotes a *showing* of guilt rather than the guilt itself. Therefore, we're dealing with an emotion displayed, not an attribution of blame.

**Analyzing the Context of "Mouthed"**

Okay, so the target is "mouthed," with "mouth" as the lemma. The sentence provided is: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together." Right, so I'm thinking about the person's action. They "mouthed" the words "Earth-quake!" with someone else. What does "mouthed" suggest in this context?

My initial thought leans towards the idea of articulating the words without sound, perhaps forming the words with exaggerated lip movements or maybe they are speaking very quietly. It definitely isn't touching something with the mouth, and though expressing something in speech is on the right track, it is likely not a loud or clear articulation. This context seems most compatible with articulating silently, like when you can read lips, or silently speak the words, or clearly moving the mouth.

Looking at the candidate senses, sense 3, "articulate silently; form words with the lips only", is the clear winner. The phrase "mouthed the words" strongly implies silent articulation, or perhaps the exaggeration of the mouth movements. This aligns perfectly with the example given, "She mouthed a swear word." I can quickly confirm this; "mouthed the words" - a perfect fit with sense 3. Therefore, I can confidently identify sense 3 as the intended meaning in this instance.
