Target lemma: wet
Target surface form: wet
Context:
He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him.

Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making <t>wet</t> rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators.

    *   Sense 1: "the lower side of anything" (synonyms: underside, undersurface)

    *   Sense 6: "low-lying alluvial land near a river" (bottomland)
    *   Sense 7: "a cargo ship" (freighter)

    *   The phrase is "the bottom of the glass".
    *   The character is making "wet rings on the table-top".
    *   This implies the part of the glass that touches the table.
    *   Sense 1 ("the lower side of anything", "underside", "undersurface") fits perfectly because the underside of the glass is what makes the ring on the table.
    *   Sense 2 ("the lowest part of anything") is very similar. Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "the lower side of anything" (underside, undersurface).
        *   Sense 2: "the lowest part of anything" (bottom of the hill).
    *   In the case of a glass, the "bottom" is both the lowest part (Sense 2) and the surface that touches the table (Sense 1). However, "making wet rings" specifically involves the *surface* (the underside) of the glass.
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical distinctions:
        *   `bottom%1:15:00` (underside) vs `bottom%1:15:01` (lowest part).
        *   If you are talking about the base of a container that touches a surface, "underside" or "lower side" (Sense 1) is often more precise for the surface area, while "lowest part" (Sense 2) refers to the position.
        *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Bottom of the glass" usually refers to the base.
        *   If I say "the bottom of the hill", it's the lowest point (Sense 2).
        *   If I say "the bottom of the glass", it's the base.
        *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "underside, undersurface".
        *   Let's look at the example for Sense 2: "they started at the bottom of the hill".
        *   The "bottom of the glass" making a ring on the table is the surface area.

    *   Sense 1: lower side / underside.
    *   Sense 2: lowest part.
    *   In many contexts, these are interchangeable. However, "making wet rings" happens because the *underside* (the surface) is wet.
    *   Let's check common WordNet usage for "bottom of the glass".
    *   Actually, "bottom of the glass" (the base) is often categorized as the lowest part. But "underside" is specifically the side facing down.
    *   Let's re-read: "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass".
    *   The ring is created by the surface of the bottom.
    *   Comparing "lower side" (1) and "lowest part" (2).
    *   If you are at the bottom of the hill, you are at the lowest part.
    *   If you touch the bottom of the glass, you are touching the lower side/undersurface.
    *   Sense 1 seems more precise for the surface that makes a ring.

    *   Sense 1: bottom%1:15:00 (lower side/underside)
    *   Sense 2: bottom%1:15:01 (lowest part)
    *   In the context of a glass, the "bottom" is the base. The base is the lowest part. But the part that makes the ring is the underside.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again. Underside/undersurface.
    *   If I put a glass on a table, the "bottom" is the part in contact with the table. That is the underside.

    *   Sense 1: lower side of anything.
    *   Sense 2: lowest part of anything.
    *   Usually, "bottom of the glass" refers to the base. Is the base the "lowest part" or the "lower side"?
    *   If you drink from the bottom of the glass, you are drinking the last bit of liquid (lowest part).
    *   If you make a ring with the bottom of the glass, you are using the surface (lower side).
    *   This is a subtle distinction. Let's look at the provided senses again.
    *   Sense 1: "the lower side of anything"
    *   Sense 2: "the lowest part of anything"
    *   The ring is made by the surface. The surface is the "lower side".

    *   Sense 1: bottom%1:15:00
    *   Sense 2: bottom%1:15:01
    *   Wait, let me double-check if "bottom of the glass" is more commonly Sense 1 or Sense 2.
    *   If the glass is standing, the bottom is the lowest part.
    *   If the glass is being used to make a ring, the part touching the table is the underside.
    *   Let's try to find examples for `bottom%1:15:00`. "The bottom of the box" (the side it sits on).
    *   Let's try to find examples for `bottom%1:15:01`. "The bottom of the page", "the bottom of the hill".
    *   "Bottom of the glass" (the base) fits "lower side" (Sense 1) better when it's the surface interacting with the table.

    *   Sense 1: lower side / underside.
    *   Sense 2: lowest part.
    *   The ring is a result of the surface contact. The surface is the underside.

    *   Sense 1: lower side of anything.
    *   Sense 2: lowest part of anything.
    *   If I say "the bottom of the glass", and I'm talking about the base, is that the "lowest part" or the "lower side"?
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based datasets, the base of an object is often mapped to "the lowest part".
    *   But "underside" is very specific to the surface.
    *   Let's re-read the context: "making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass".
    *   The ring is the imprint of the bottom. The imprint is made by the surface.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 (lower side/undersurface) is the most precise.

    *   Sense 1: lower side / underside.
    *   Sense 2: lowest part.
    *   If you are at the bottom of the hill, you are at the lowest part.
    *   If you are looking at the bottom of a shoe, you are looking at the underside.
    *   The bottom of a glass is like the bottom of a shoe; it's the surface it stands on.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target lemma: look
Target surface form: looked
Context:
This favorite grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him. In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He <t>looked</t> up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down.

        1.  `stranger%1:18:00`: anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found (alien, unknown).
        2.  `stranger%1:18:01`: an individual that one is not acquainted with.

    *   The narrator describes a person sitting across the table.
    *   The narrator asks, "what was his name? Pete?", implying he might know the person or is trying to recall who they are, but currently doesn't recognize them or isn't acquainted with them in a familiar way.
    *   The key is whether the person "does not belong in the environment" (Sense 1) or is "someone the narrator is not acquainted with" (Sense 2).
    *   In this scene (a bar/table), the person is just another patron or acquaintance. There is no indication that the person "does not belong" in the environment (like an intruder or an alien).
    *   The term "stranger" here refers to a person the protagonist doesn't recognize or know well.

    *   Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment" (e.g., a stranger in a strange land, an intruder).
    *   Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with" (e.g., "I don't talk to strangers").

    The context describes a person the protagonist doesn't immediately recognize or know, fitting the definition of someone he is not acquainted with.

    *   Sense 1 is more about being an outsider to a place/group.
    *   Sense 2 is about the lack of personal acquaintance.
    *   The text says "he hadn't even noticed... what was his name? Pete?". This points to a lack of acquaintance/recognition.

    *   Sense 1: `be seated` (synonyms: sit down) - This describes the state of being in a seated position.
    *   Sense 2: `be around, often idly or without specific purpose` (synonyms: sit around) - This is more about loitering or idling.

    *   The sentence says "beheld the stranger sitting across the table".
    *   Is it the *action* of taking a seat (Sense 3) or the *state* of being seated (Sense 1)?
    *   "beheld the stranger sitting" implies the stranger was already there in a seated position when the narrator looked up.
    *   Sense 1: `be seated` (state).
    *   Sense 3: `take a seat` (action).
    *   The context "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down" explicitly distinguishes the state of *sitting* (being seated) from the action of *sitting down* (taking a seat).

    *   Sense 1: `be seated`
    *   Sense 3: `take a seat`
    *   The stranger is currently in the state of being seated.

    *   Sense 1: `sit%2:35:00::` | definition=be seated
    *   Sense 3: `sit%2:38:00::` | definition=take a seat

    The target "sitting" in "beheld the stranger sitting across the table" describes the state.

    *   Sense 1: be seated.
    *   Sense 3: take a seat.
    *   The stranger is already there. He is seated.

    Wait, let me double-check the synonyms.
    Sense 1: synonyms=sit down (Wait, "sit down" is listed as a synonym for "be seated"? That's slightly confusing, but "be seated" is the primary definition).
    Sense 3: synonyms=sit down (This is the action).

    Looking at the context again: "beheld the stranger sitting across the table". This is clearly the state of being seated.

    Sense 1: be seated.
    Sense 3: take a seat.

    The correct sense is 1.

    *   Sense 2 is the general definition of the furniture.
    *   Sense 3 specifically emphasizes the "tableware for a meal laid out on it" or the reservation aspect.

    *   The "secret smile" is described as being like "fellow conspirators."
    *   A "secret smile" usually means a smile that conveys a private understanding or a hidden thought, not something that is "classified" (11), a "secret passage" (6), or a "secret alcoholic" (9).
    *   Is it "not open or public" (1)? A smile isn't exactly a formula or an ingredient.
    *   Is it "conducted with hidden aims" (2)? The *smile* itself isn't an operation, but it reflects a hidden aim or understanding.
    *   Is it "not expressed" (5)? A smile *is* an expression, but the *meaning* behind it is not expressed.
    *   Is it "not openly made known" (3)? A secret marriage is a fact kept hidden. A smile is a gesture.
    *   Is it "communicated covertly" (4)? A "secret signal" is a specific code. A smile can be a signal, but "secret smile" often refers to the private nature of the feeling/knowledge.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "not expressed" (synonym: private). "Secret thoughts" are private. A "secret smile" often mirrors "private thoughts."
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "not open or public; kept private or not revealed."
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate "secret smile." In the context of "fellow conspirators," it implies a shared, hidden understanding.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 5:
        *   Sense 1: "not open or public; kept private or not revealed"
        *   Sense 5: "not expressed" (synonym: private)
    *   Actually, looking at common usage, a "secret smile" is often a smile that suggests the person knows something others don't, or is thinking something they aren't saying. This aligns well with "not expressed" or "private" (Sense 5).
    *   However, let's check Sense 1 again. "Not open or public."
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods." The smile is "marked by hidden aims" (conspirators).
    *   Let's look at Sense 10: "having an import not apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence." This is more about mysticism.

    *   "Secret smile" usually means a smile that indicates a private thought or a shared secret.
    *   Sense 5: "not expressed" (synonyms: private). Example: "secret (or private) thoughts."
    *   Sense 1: "not open or public; kept private or not revealed." Example: "secret formula."
    *   If the smile is "as if they were fellow conspirators," it's a smile that communicates a shared, hidden understanding.
    *   Is the smile "not expressed"? No, the smile *is* the expression. The *meaning* is not expressed.
    *   Is the smile "not open or public"? The smile is visible, but the *reason* for it is not public.
    *   Let's reconsider Sense 5: "not expressed" (private). If we say "a secret smile," we often mean a smile that reflects a private feeling.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again. "not open or public; kept private or not revealed."
    *   Let's look at Sense 2: "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods." A "secret smile" in the context of "conspirators" fits the "marked by hidden aims" description quite well.

    *   Sense 1: General "kept private."
    *   Sense 2: "marked by hidden aims" (clandestine).
    *   Sense 5: "not expressed" (private thoughts).
    *   In "smiling a secret smile... as if they were fellow conspirators," the smile is the outward sign of a hidden, shared understanding (a conspiracy). This makes the smile "marked by hidden aims."

    *   Wait, "secret smile" is a very common collocation. Does it usually mean "clandestine" (Sense 2) or "private" (Sense 5)?
    *   Example: "She gave him a secret smile." This usually means a private, shared moment.
    *   Sense 5: "not expressed" / "private".
    *   Sense 1: "not open or public".
    *   Let's look at the "conspirators" part again. Conspirators have "hidden aims."
    *   If I have to choose between "private" (5) and "clandestine/hidden aims" (2), the "conspirators" clue strongly pushes it toward Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: secret formula (fact)
    *   Sense 2: clandestine operations (activity/method)
    *   Sense 3: secret marriage (status)
    *   Sense 4: secret signal (communication)
    *   Sense 5: secret thoughts (internal state)
    *   Sense 6: secret passage (physical place)
    *   Sense 7: secret spot (physical place)
    *   Sense 8: secret communications (confidential info)
    *   Sense 9: secret alcoholic (behavior)
    *   Sense 10: secret symbols (mysterious)

    *   A "secret smile" is an expression of an internal state (Sense 5) or a sign of a clandestine relationship (Sense 2).
    *   Given "fellow conspirators," the "clandestine" aspect (Sense 2) is emphasized.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 5: "not expressed" (synonym: private). Example: "secret (or private) thoughts."
    *   A "secret smile" is often used to describe a smile that suggests the person is thinking of something they aren't telling anyone. This is almost exactly "private thoughts."
    *   But the "conspirators" part... conspirators *share* a secret.
    *   If the smile is shared between two people ("as if they were fellow conspirators"), it's not "not expressed" (Sense 5) because it *is* being expressed to the other person.
    *   It is, however, "marked by hidden aims" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods"
    *   Synonyms: clandestine, cloak-and-dagger, surreptitious.
    *   A "surreptitious smile" or a "clandestine smile" fits the "conspirator" context perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: "not open or public; kept private or not revealed"
    *   This is very general. Sense 2 is more specific to the "conspirator" context.

    *   Sense 4: "communicated covertly" (e.g., secret signal).
    *   Is a smile a "secret signal"? In this context, it's more of a shared expression than a coded signal.

    *   The "conspirators" clue is the strongest indicator. "Clandestine" or "surreptitious" (Sense 2) fits the vibe of conspirators better than just "private" (Sense 5) or "not public" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 2: "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods"
    *   A smile that makes two people feel like conspirators is definitely "marked by hidden aims."

    *   Sense 1: secret formula (not public)
    *   Sense 2: clandestine operations (hidden aims)
    *   Sense 3: secret marriage (unacknowledged)
    *   Sense 4: secret signal (communicated covertly)
    *   Sense 5: secret thoughts (not expressed)
    *   Sense 6: secret passage (elude detection)
    *   Sense 7: secret spot (hidden from view)
    *   Sense 8: secret communications (confidential)
    *   Sense 9: secret alcoholic (covert indulgence)
    *   Sense 10: secret symbols (mysterious)

    *   The smile is a visible sign of a hidden understanding/aim. Sense 2 fits best.

He had already quite forgotten about him. In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even <t>noticed</t> -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow.

    *   Sense 1: `discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of` (Synonyms: detect, observe, find, discover). Example: "She detected high levels of lead..."
    *   Sense 2: `notice or perceive` (Synonyms: mark, note). Example: "She noted that someone was following her."

    *   The character "became aware that he was not alone" and "hadn't seen him sit down."
    *   "He hadn't even noticed" refers to the act of perceiving the person's presence or the action of sitting down.
    *   Sense 3 (commenting) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (acknowledging) is incorrect because he didn't even *perceive* the person, let alone acknowledge them.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" (detect, observe).
        *   Sense 2: "notice or perceive" (mark, note).
    *   In this context, "noticed" means he didn't perceive the person sitting down. "He hadn't seen him sit down" is a direct paraphrase.
    *   Sense 2 ("notice or perceive") fits the general act of sensory perception (seeing/hearing someone arrive).
    *   Sense 1 ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") often implies a more active detection or finding (like detecting lead in water).
    *   Looking at the synonyms: Sense 2 has "note" and "mark". Sense 1 has "detect", "observe", "find".
    *   "He hadn't even noticed [him]" is a classic use of "notice" as in "perceive with the senses."

    *   Sense 1: detect, observe, find, discover.
    *   Sense 2: notice or perceive.
    *   The context "he hadn't seen him sit down" strongly aligns with "perceive."

    *   Sense 1 is often used for detecting something hidden or a fact.
    *   Sense 2 is the general sense of becoming aware of something through the senses.
    *   The sentence "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down" is a clear case of sensory perception.

    *   Sense 1: discover/determine existence/presence.
    *   Sense 2: notice/perceive.
    *   Wait, let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "She detected high levels of lead..." (Detection of a fact/presence).
    *   Sense 2: "She noted that someone was following her." (Perception of a situation).
    *   In the text: "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down."
    *   This is perceiving the presence/action of the person.
    *   Actually, "notice" in the sense of "perceive" is almost exactly Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
    *   Sense 2: notice or perceive.
    *   If I say "I didn't notice him," I usually mean I didn't perceive him.
    *   If I say "I didn't notice the lead in the water," I mean I didn't detect it.
    *   The context "hadn't seen him sit down" points directly to perception.

    *   Sense 1: detect, observe, find, discover.
    *   Sense 2: mark, note.
    *   "He hadn't even noticed" = "He hadn't even perceived/seen".
    *   Sense 2 is the most general "perceive" sense.

    *   Sense 1: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
    *   Sense 2: notice or perceive.
    *   Wait, "discover the presence of" (Sense 1) is very close to "perceive" (Sense 2).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 1: detect, observe, find, discover.
    *   Sense 2: mark, note.
    *   "He hadn't even noticed [him]" -> "He hadn't even observed [him]" (Sense 1) or "He hadn't even noted [him]" (Sense 2).
    *   Actually, "notice" as in "become aware of" is usually Sense 2 in many WordNet-style hierarchies.
    *   Let's re-read: "He became aware that he was not alone... He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down."
    *   This is the act of perceiving.

    *   Sense 1: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
    *   Sense 2: notice or perceive.
    *   If the person is sitting right there, and you suddenly realize it, you "notice" them.
    *   Sense 2 is the most direct fit for "perceive".

    *   Sense 1: "She detected high levels of lead..." (Finding something that requires detection).
    *   Sense 2: "She noted that someone was following her." (Becoming aware of something).
    *   The context "hadn't seen him sit down" is becoming aware of something.

    *   Sense 1: discover/determine existence/presence.
    *   Sense 2: notice/perceive.
    *   "He hadn't even noticed [the man]" = "He hadn't even perceived [the man]".
    *   This fits Sense 2 perfectly.

    *   The sentence is "he hadn't seen him sit down."
    *   This refers to the physical act of visually perceiving the person in the process of sitting down.
    *   Sense 1: "perceive by sight" (basic perception).
    *   Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" (witness).
    *   Sense 7: "see or watch" (usually implies a performance or a specific event like a show).

    *   Sense 1 is the most general "perceive by sight."
    *   Sense 3 "perceive or be contemporaneous with" (synonyms: witness, find) often applies to seeing an event happen. "He hadn't seen him sit down" is seeing an event (the act of sitting).
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 examples: "We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school." These are more about witnessing a trend or a situation.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 examples: "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?" This is basic visual perception.
    *   Wait, "see [someone] [do something]" (perceptual verb construction) usually falls under the basic sense of visual perception (Sense 1) or witnessing (Sense 3).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 1: perceive by sight.
        *   Sense 3: perceive or be contemporaneous with (witness).
    *   In "he hadn't seen him sit down," the focus is on the failure to visually perceive the action.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" (witness). "Witness" fits "seen him sit down" quite well.
    *   However, Sense 1 is the most fundamental meaning of "see" as in visual perception.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit. Sense 7 is "watch," but that's usually intentional.
    *   Looking at the context: "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down." This is about the lack of visual awareness of the event.
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "see someone do something" is mapped to the basic visual perception sense (Sense 1) unless it's specifically about witnessing a historical event or a crime (Sense 3).
    *   Let's double-check Sense 3 again: "perceive or be contemporaneous with | synonyms=witness, find | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices; You'll see a lot of cheating in this school". These examples are more about observing a state of affairs or a pattern.
    *   Sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight | examples=You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?"
    *   "Seen him sit down" is a direct visual perception of an action.

    *   Sense 1: Basic visual perception.
    *   Sense 3: Witnessing an event/situation.
    *   The act of sitting down is a brief event. Is it "witnessing" or "perceiving by sight"?
    *   Usually, "I saw him cross the street" is Sense 1.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "witness, find".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: (none provided, but it's the primary sense).
    *   The context "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down" emphasizes the lack of visual perception.

    *   Sense 1: perceive by sight.
    *   Sense 3: perceive or be contemporaneous with.
    *   If I say "I saw the accident," is that Sense 1 or Sense 3? Often Sense 3 (witness).
    *   If I say "I saw a bird," that's Sense 1.
    *   "I saw him sit down" is closer to "I saw the accident" (an event) than "I saw a bird" (an object).
    *   However, the examples for Sense 3 ("Republicans winning", "cheating in this school") are more about general observations or long-term events.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "perceive by sight". This is the most direct and simple fit.

    *   Sense 1: perceive by sight.
    *   Sense 3: perceive or be contemporaneous with.
    *   Looking at the WordNet hierarchy (though not provided here, I recall), `see` (perceive by sight) is the root. Sense 3 is often used for "witnessing" in a more formal or broader sense.
    *   "He hadn't seen him sit down" is a very simple visual perception.

    *   Sense 1: perceive by sight.
    *   Sense 3: perceive or be contemporaneous with.
    *   Let's try to find a similar example for Sense 3. "I saw him leave the room." Is that Sense 1 or 3?
    *   In many disambiguation tasks, "see [someone] [do something]" is treated as Sense 1 unless it's specifically "witnessing" a significant event.
    *   The context "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down" suggests a failure of basic visual perception.

    *   Sense 1: perceive by sight.
    *   Sense 3: perceive or be contemporaneous with.
    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again. "perceive or be contemporaneous with". This is often used for "The 20th century saw many wars." (contemporaneous with). The examples "We found Republicans winning" and "You'll see a lot of cheating" also fit this "observe a situation" pattern.
    *   "He hadn't seen him sit down" is not "The 20th century saw..." and it's not "I see a lot of cheating." It's a direct visual perception of a person performing an action.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him <t>sit down</t>. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow.

*   Target word: "uncanny"
    *   Context: "The man was <t>uncanny</t>, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   Surrounding context: The man appeared without being noticed ("He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down"), is described as being "like a shadow," and makes no noise.

    *   Sense 1: `supernatural` - suggesting the operation of supernatural influences; synonyms: eldritch, weird, unearthly.
    *   Sense 2: `extraordinary` - surpassing the ordinary or normal; synonyms: preternatural.

    *   The man's ability to appear silently and unnoticed is described as "uncanny."
    *   Is it "supernatural" (literally magic/ghostly) or "extraordinary" (surpassing the normal, like a preternatural ability to be stealthy)?
    *   The comparison "like a shadow" suggests a quality that is eerie or beyond the normal, but not necessarily that he *is* a supernatural being (though it's a simile).
    *   In common usage, "uncanny" often describes things that are eerie or strange in a way that *feels* supernatural but might just be extraordinary (like an uncanny sense of timing or, in this case, stealth).
    *   Looking at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 1: eldritch, weird, unearthly.
        *   Sense 2: preternatural.
    *   "Preternatural" often fits things that seem supernatural but are just beyond normal human ability.
    *   However, "uncanny" in the sense of "eerie" or "weird" often aligns with Sense 1 in some dictionaries, but WordNet splits them.
    *   Let's re-read: "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow." This emphasizes the *eerie* quality of his stealth.
    *   Comparing the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "an eldritch screech; the three weird sisters" (clearly supernatural).
        *   Sense 2: "his uncanny sense of direction" (extraordinary ability).
    *   The man's stealth is an ability/quality. He isn't necessarily a ghost or a witch; he's just unnervingly quiet. This aligns more with "surpassing the ordinary or normal" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1 is more about the *supernatural* (ghosts, magic).
    *   Sense 2 is more about *extraordinary/preternatural* (skills, traits that seem impossible).
    *   The man's stealth is a trait. While it feels eerie, it's described as a quality he possesses ("The man was uncanny").

    *   Wait, "uncanny" often means "strange or mysterious, especially in a settling way."
    *   If the man is "like a shadow," it's an eerie quality.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again. "Preternatural" (Sense 2) means "beyond what is normal or natural." "Eldritch/weird" (Sense 1) means "ghostly/supernatural."
    *   The man is a "wiry, dark little man." He is a human. Therefore, his stealth is preternatural (Sense 2), not supernatural (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 2 fits best because it describes a human quality that surpasses the normal.

    *   Sense 8 (spy) doesn't fit the "uncanny" and "made as much noise as a shadow" (which emphasizes silence/ghostliness rather than the profession of spying).
    *   Sense 9 (companion) doesn't fit the context of a stranger.

    *   The phrase "like a shadow" here emphasizes the man's eerie, silent, and almost non-physical presence.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition, phantom) captures this "uncanny" quality best.
