Target lemma: know

Context:
After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it. Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!! So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney <t>knew</t> it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was.

*   Target lemma: `know`
    *   Target surface form: `knew`
    *   Context: "However, Haney <t>knew</t> it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."
    *   Target word: `knew` (first occurrence in "Haney knew it was not a dream").

    *   Sense 1: be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information. (e.g., "I know that the President lied")
    *   Sense 2: know how to do or perform something. (e.g., "She knows how to knit")
    *   Sense 3: be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt. (e.g., "I know that I left the key on the table")
    *   Sense 4: be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object. (e.g., "Do you know my sister?")
    *   Sense 5: have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations. (e.g., "I know the feeling!")
    *   Sense 6: accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority. (e.g., "The Crown Prince was acknowledged")
    *   Sense 7: have fixed in the mind. (e.g., "I know Latin")

    *   Sense 10: be able to distinguish, recognize as being different. (e.g., "The child knows right from wrong")
    *   Sense 11: perceive as familiar. (e.g., "I know this voice!")

    *   "However, Haney knew it was not a dream."
    *   The sentence describes Haney's internal state of certainty regarding the reality of his situation. He is aware of the truth that his current experience is not a dream.

    *   Sense 1 (cognizant of a fact) vs. Sense 3 (aware of the truth/belief/faith).
    *   Sense 1 is more about possessing information (e.g., "I know the capital of France").
    *   Sense 3 is more about certainty or conviction regarding the truth of a state of affairs (e.g., "I know that I left the key on the table").
    *   In "Haney knew it was not a dream," he is convinced of the truth of the situation. This aligns closely with Sense 3.

    *   Sense 1: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information"
    *   Sense 3: "be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt"
    *   The context "it was not a dream" is a statement of truth/reality. Haney is certain of this truth.

    *   Wait, let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "I know that the President lied to the people" (Fact/Information).
    *   Sense 3: "I know that I left the key on the table" (Truth/Belief/Certainty).
    *   "Haney knew it was not a dream" is very similar to "I know that I left the key on the table" in terms of asserting the truth of a personal experience/observation.

    *   Is it Sense 1? "be cognizant or aware of a fact".
    *   Is it Sense 3? "be aware of the truth of something".
    *   Often, these are very close. However, Sense 3 emphasizes the *truth* and *belief/faith/certainty* aspect ("regard as true beyond any doubt"). Haney's realization that it's not a dream is a conviction about the nature of his reality.

    *   Let's re-read the context: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream."
    *   This contrast (dream vs. reality) strongly suggests a conviction about the truth of the situation.

    *   Sense 1: "I know that the President lied" (Information).
    *   Sense 3: "Galileo knew that the earth moves around the sun" (Truth).
    *   "Haney knew it was not a dream" fits the "truth" pattern better than the "piece of information" pattern.

    *   Sense 1: Cognizant of a fact.
    *   Sense 3: Aware of the truth.
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "know that [clause]" where the clause is a fact is often mapped to Sense 1 or 3. Let's look at the nuances again.
    *   Sense 1: "possess knowledge or information about"
    *   Sense 3: "regard as true beyond any doubt"
    *   Haney's realization is a conviction. He *knows* (is certain) it's not a dream.

    *   Wait, let me check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: "I know that the President lied"
    *   Sense 3: "I know that I left the key on the table"
    *   Both are "know that [clause]".
    *   The difference is subtle. Sense 1 is more about information/facts. Sense 3 is more about truth/belief/certainty.
    *   "It was not a dream" is a truth about his state of existence.

    *   Let's look at the second "knew" in the text: "he knew where he was."
    *   "He knew where he was" is more like Sense 1 (information about location).
    *   But the target is the first "knew": "Haney knew it was not a dream."

    *   Comparing "I know that the President lied" (1) and "I know that I left the key on the table" (3).
    *   The "key on the table" example is a personal certainty based on memory/experience.
    *   "It was not a dream" is a personal certainty based on experience.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the strongest fit.

    *   Sense 1: a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep.
    *   Sense 2: imaginative thoughts indulged in while awake.
    *   Sense 3: a cherished desire (ambition).
    *   Sense 4: a fantastic but vain hope (pipe dream).
    *   Sense 5: a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality.
    *   Sense 6: someone or something wonderful.

    *   The text says: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."
    *   The context compares the current experience to a "recurrent, annoying dream" and a "nightmare."
    *   The key phrase "he knew it was not a dream" and "he knew where he was" suggests that the character is questioning whether his current reality is actually real or if he is dreaming (as in, asleep).
    *   The mention of "nightmare" strongly links to the sleep-related definition of a dream.
    *   The contrast "he knew it was not a dream... he knew where he was" implies that if it *were* a dream, he would be asleep and not aware of his actual location/reality.

    *   Sense 1 (sleep) fits best because of the contrast with reality ("he knew where he was") and the mention of a "nightmare."
    *   Sense 2 (daydreaming) is less likely because the context emphasizes the distinction between the experience and reality in a way that suggests sleep/unconsciousness.
    *   Sense 5 (state of mind/abstraction) is possible, but the "nightmare" and "knew where he was" clues point more strongly to the sleep-state definition.

    *   The character is experiencing something that *feels* like a dream/nightmare, but he confirms it is real. This is a classic usage of "dream" referring to the sleep state.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `same%3:00:02::`: same in identity (e.g., the same man I saw yesterday).
        2.  `same%3:00:00::`: closely similar or comparable in kind or quality (e.g., curtains the same color).
        3.  `same%3:00:04::`: equal in amount or value (e.g., like amounts).
        4.  `same%5:00:00:unchanged:00`: unchanged in character or nature (e.g., the village stayed the same).

    *   The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later..."
    *   The narrator is describing a location (the bar) that the character (Haney) has been to before.
    *   "The same bar" refers to the specific, identical physical establishment he visited previously.

    *   Sense 1: "same in identity" (the same man I saw yesterday). This fits perfectly. He is in the identical bar he was in before.
    *   Sense 2: "closely similar or comparable" (curtains the same color). This would mean it's a different bar that looks like the first one. The context implies it's the actual same place.
    *   Sense 3: "equal in amount or value". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "unchanged in character or nature". This refers to a state of being (e.g., "the village stayed the same"). While the bar might be unchanged, the phrase "the same bar" identifies the object, not its state.

    *   The phrase "the same [noun]" usually refers to identity (Sense 1) unless it's comparing two different things that are similar (Sense 2). In "It was the same bar", it means the identical establishment.

    *   The phrase is "Saturday night".
    *   This refers to a specific time of the week/day.
    *   It's the time when he's at a bar drinking.
    *   Is it the *time unit* (sense 4), the *time between sunset and midnight* (sense 7), or the *general time after sunset* (sense 1)?

    *   Sense 1: General time after sunset and before sunrise.
    *   Sense 4: The dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit (e.g., "three nights later").
    *   Sense 7: The time between sunset and midnight (e.g., "he watched television every night").

    *   "Saturday night" usually refers to the evening/night part of Saturday.
    *   In the context of going to a bar, it's typically the evening (between sunset and midnight).
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 7. Sense 1 is the general state of it being dark. Sense 7 is the specific part of the day often associated with activities (like watching TV or going to a bar).
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 4 again: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit". "Saturday night" is a specific instance of that unit.
    *   However, "Saturday night" as a time of day is most commonly mapped to the period of evening/night.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight". This fits "Saturday night" perfectly when referring to social activities like drinking at a bar.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside". This is the broader definition.

    *   Sense 1: General period of darkness.
    *   Sense 7: The evening part (sunset to midnight).
    *   In "Saturday night", it's referring to the time he's at the bar. This is almost certainly the evening (Sense 7).

    *   Sense 4: "three nights later he collapsed". This is counting nights. "Saturday night" isn't counting, it's identifying a specific time.
    *   Sense 7: "he watched television every night". This refers to the evening routine. "Saturday night" at a bar is a similar evening activity.

    *   Sense 1: General nighttime.
    *   Sense 7: Evening (sunset to midnight).
    *   "Saturday night" in the context of a bar is the evening.

    *   Sense 1: `night%1:28:00`
    *   Sense 7: `night%1:28:03`
    *   Looking at WordNet's typical usage, "Saturday night" often falls under the "evening" sense if available, or the general "night" sense. Sense 7 specifically defines it as sunset to midnight.

    *   "Saturday night" is the time he's at the bar.
    *   Is it the *entire* period from sunset to sunrise (Sense 1) or the *evening* part (Sense 7)?
    *   Usually, "Saturday night" refers to the evening.

    *   Sense 1: nighttime, dark.
    *   Sense 7: time between sunset and midnight.
    *   Example for Sense 7: "he watched television every night".
    *   Example for Sense 4: "three nights later".
    *   Example for Sense 3: "restless night" (sleeping).

    *   "Saturday night" is a specific time of the week.
    *   If I say "I'll see you Saturday night," I mean the evening.
    *   Sense 7 fits this "evening" usage best.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 again. "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside".
    *   If the context is "Saturday night", it's identifying the time of day.
    *   Let's look at Sense 7 again: "the time between sunset and midnight".
    *   In many corpora, "Saturday night" is treated as the evening.

    *   Sense 1: night%1:28:00
    *   Sense 7: night%1:28:03
    *   Sense 4: night%1:28:02
    *   If the phrase is "Saturday night", it's a specific point/period in the week.
    *   Let's compare "Saturday night" to "three nights later" (Sense 4). "Three nights later" is counting. "Saturday night" is a name for a specific period.
    *   Let's compare "Saturday night" to "every night" (Sense 7). "Every night" refers to the evening part of the day. "Saturday night" refers to the evening part of Saturday.

    *   Sense 7 seems the most precise for "Saturday night" when referring to social activities.

    *   Wait, let me search for "Saturday night" in WordNet-based disambiguation tasks. Often, "night" in "Saturday night" is mapped to the general sense of the time of day.
    *   Let's look at the options again.
    *   1: sunset to sunrise.
    *   7: sunset to midnight.
    *   Is "Saturday night" sunset to sunrise or sunset to midnight? In common parlance, "Saturday night" usually means the evening.

    *   Let's re-read the context: "Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual." This strongly implies the evening hours.

    *   Sense 7: `night%1:28:03` (sunset to midnight).
    *   Sense 1: `night%1:28:00` (sunset to sunrise).
    *   Sense 4: `night%1:28:02` (time unit).

    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 7's "sunset to midnight" is a better fit for "drinking at a bar" than the entire period until sunrise.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 4 again. "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit". Is "Saturday night" a time unit? Not really, it's a specific instance. "Three nights" is a count of units.

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 1. Is "Saturday night" just the general "nighttime"?
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "night" as in "Saturday night" is often mapped to the most general sense (Sense 1) unless it's specifically about sleeping (Sense 3) or counting (Sense 4).
    *   But Sense 7 is *so* specific ("sunset to midnight") that it perfectly describes the "evening" meaning of "night".

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 7: "he watched television every night".
    *   Sense 1: (no example, but synonyms are nighttime, dark).
    *   "Saturday night" is very similar to "every night" in terms of the part of the day it refers to.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 7 one more time. "the time between sunset and midnight". This is the definition of "evening" in many contexts.

    *   Is there any reason to prefer Sense 1? Sense 1 is the most general. But Sense 7 is more precise for the context of social activities.

    *   Let's think about "Saturday night" again. If someone says "I'm going out Saturday night," they don't mean they'll be out until sunrise (though they might), they mean they're going out in the evening.

    *   Therefore, Sense 7 is the most fitting.

    *   Wait, let me re-read the candidate senses one more time.
    *   1. night%1:28:00 (sunset to sunrise)
    *   7. night%1:28:03 (sunset to midnight)
    *   If the context is "Saturday night", and the person is at a bar, it's the evening. Sense 7 is the "evening" sense.

    *   Let's just be sure it's not Sense 4. "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit". "Saturday night" is a specific night. Is that a "time unit"? "Three nights later" (example for Sense 4) is definitely using it as a unit. "Saturday night" is more like a name for the period.

    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 7 again.
    *   Sense 1: the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside.
    *   Sense 7: the time between sunset and midnight.
    *   "Saturday night" is the name of the period. Is that period sunset-to-sunrise or sunset-to-midnight?
    *   In common usage, "night" can mean both. But when used as "Saturday night" (the time for activities), it almost always means the evening.

    *   Let's check if "Saturday night" could be Sense 1. Yes, it could. But Sense 7 is more specific to the "evening" usage.

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 7: "he watched television every night".
    *   This is a very similar usage to "Saturday night".

    *   Final check:
        *   Context: "Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
        *   Activity: Drinking at a bar.
        *   Time: Evening.
        *   Sense 7: Sunset to midnight.
        *   Sense 1: Sunset to sunrise.
        *   Sense 4: Time unit.
        *   Sense 7 is the best fit.

    *   "had an excuse"
    *   An "excuse" is an abstract thing.
    *   Does he *possess* an excuse? Yes.
    *   Does he *experience* an excuse? Not really.
    *   Does he *own* an excuse? Not in a legal sense.
    *   Is it a *feature*? No.
    *   Is it *consuming*? No.

    *   Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" (Synonyms: have got, hold). Example: "She has $1,000 in the bank; He has got two beautiful daughters".
    *   Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of" (Synonyms: own, possess). Example: "He owns three houses in Florida".

    *   "Having an excuse" is an abstract possession. Sense 1 explicitly mentions "either in a concrete or an abstract sense". Sense 4 focuses more on ownership/possession (like houses or cars).

    *   "He had an excuse" $\approx$ "He possessed an excuse" or "He had got an excuse".
    *   This fits Sense 1 perfectly.

    *   Sense 3 (experience): "experience an excuse" - No.
    *   Sense 10 (be confronted with): "be confronted with an excuse" - No.
    *   Sense 15 (receive): "receive an excuse" - No.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and specifically includes abstract possession.

Context:
So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an <t>excuse</t> to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes.

Candidate senses:

    *   The sentence is: "...Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."
    *   In this context, "excuse" refers to a justification or a reason (often a self-justified one) for doing something (drinking heavier than usual).

    *   Sense 1: "a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc." (e.g., "he kept finding excuses to stay"). This fits well. Drinking heavier than usual might be seen as "offensive behavior" or something requiring a "self-justification."
    *   Sense 2: "a note explaining an absence." This does not fit.
    *   Sense 3: "a poor example" (e.g., "a poor excuse for an automobile"). This does not fit.

    *   The word "excuse" here means a reason or justification for an action. Sense 1 is the only one that fits this meaning.

    *   Sense 1: `drink%2:34:00` - take in liquids (general).
    *   Sense 2: `drink%2:34:01` - consume alcohol (general).
    *   Sense 3: `drink%2:34:12` - propose a toast to.

    *   Sense 5: `drink%2:34:02` - drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic.

    *   The setting is a "bar".
    *   The phrase is "drink heavier than usual".
    *   The context mentions "lushes" (people who drink excessive amounts of alcohol).
    *   "Drink heavier" specifically refers to the quantity/intensity of alcohol consumption.

    *   Sense 1 (take in liquids) is too general.
    *   Sense 2 (consume alcohol) fits well.
    *   Sense 3 (toast) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 4 (fascinated) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 5 (be an alcoholic/drink excessive amounts) is a state or a habit. While the character might be an alcoholic, the specific phrase "drink heavier than usual" refers to the act of consuming alcohol in a particular instance or period, rather than the general state of being an alcoholic (though it's close).

    *   Sense 2: "consume alcohol" (synonyms: booze, fuddle).
    *   Sense 5: "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic" (synonym: tope).
    *   "Drink heavier than usual" describes the *act* of consuming alcohol in larger quantities. Sense 2 is the general action of consuming alcohol. Sense 5 is more about the habit or the state of being a heavy drinker.
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "We were up drinking all night" (act of consuming alcohol).
        *   Sense 5: "The husband drinks and beats his wife" (habitual behavior/alcoholism).
    *   In the sentence "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual", the focus is on the act of consuming alcohol (boozing) more than usual.

    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 5.
    *   Sense 2: consume alcohol.
    *   Sense 5: drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic.
    *   "Drink heavier than usual" implies consuming alcohol. Does it imply the *habit* of being an alcoholic? Not necessarily, though the context ("lushes") suggests a familiarity with the scene. However, the specific verb usage "to drink heavier" refers to the activity of consuming alcohol.

    *   Let's check the synonyms for Sense 2: booze, fuddle.
    *   Let's check the synonyms for Sense 5: tope.

    *   Comparing "drink heavier than usual" to "consume alcohol heavier than usual" vs "be an alcoholic heavier than usual". The former makes more sense.

    *   Sense 2 is the most accurate description of the action of consuming alcohol.

    *   Sense 1: General liquids. (No)
    *   Sense 2: Consume alcohol. (Yes)
    *   Sense 3: Toast. (No)
    *   Sense 4: Fascinated. (No)
    *   Sense 5: Be an alcoholic. (No, "drink heavier" is the action).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 5 again. "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic".
    *   If the sentence was "He drinks," it could be Sense 5. But "to drink heavier than usual" is a modification of the act of consuming alcohol.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   The phrase is "drink heavier than usual".

    *   It describes a regular practice or a habitual state.

    *   Sense 1: "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure". This fits well because drinking "heavier than usual" means drinking more than what is in accordance with his regular practice.
    *   Sense 2: "commonly encountered" (synonym: common). This usually refers to things that are common in a general sense (e.g., "the usual greeting"), not a personal habit or regular practice.

    *   Sense 1 is about frequency and regular practice.
    *   Sense 2 is about being common/familiar.
    *   "Drink heavier than usual" clearly refers to a personal regular practice.

Context:
The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the <t>little</t> table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water.

*   Target word: "talkative"
    *   Context: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   Candidate Senses:
        1.  `voluble`: full of trivial conversation (chatty, gabby, garrulous, loquacious, talky).
        2.  `indiscreet`: unwisely talking too much (bigmouthed, blabbermouthed, blabby).
        3.  `communicative`: friendly and open and willing to talk (expansive).

    *   The character (Phil Haney) is sitting in a bar, trying to avoid "talkative, friendly lushes."
    *   The word "friendly" modifies "lushes" alongside "talkative."
    *   The context suggests people who are chatty or sociable in a bar setting, rather than people who are leaking secrets (indiscreet) or specifically "expansive" in a deep emotional way (though "expansive" can be caused by wine, as in sense 3).
    *   Sense 1 (voluble/chatty) describes people who talk a lot, often about trivial things, which fits the description of "friendly lushes" in a bar.
    *   Sense 2 (indiscreet) doesn't fit; there's no indication that the lushes are revealing secrets.
    *   Sense 3 (communicative/expansive) is close, but "talkative" in the phrase "talkative, friendly lushes" usually refers to the general habit of chatting (Sense 1) rather than a specific state of being open/willing to talk (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "full of trivial conversation" (chatty, gabby). This perfectly describes the type of person one might avoid in a bar if they want to be left alone with their "pet grievance."
    *   Sense 3: "friendly and open and willing to talk." While "friendly" is used in the text, "talkative" here describes the *amount* of talking (chatty) rather than the *willingness* to communicate.

    *   The pairing "talkative, friendly" suggests a general personality trait or state of being sociable and chatty. Sense 1 is the most general and fitting description for "chatty" people in a public setting.

*   Target word: "friendly"
    *   Context: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, <t>friendly</t> lushes."
    *   Meaning: The narrator (Haney) wants to avoid people (lushes) who are talkative and friendly (sociable, amiable, not hostile).

    *   Sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend" (e.g., friendly advice).
    *   Sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile" (e.g., a government friendly to our interests; an amicable agreement). This sense covers being amiable or sociable.
    *   Sense 3: "easy to understand or use" (e.g., user-friendly). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: "of or belonging to your own country's forces or those of an ally" (e.g., friendly fire). (Incorrect)

    *   The context describes "talkative, friendly lushes." This refers to people who are sociable, outgoing, and amiable.
    *   Sense 1 is about things that *befit* a friend (like advice).
    *   Sense 2 is about being "not antagonistic or hostile," which aligns with the general meaning of being amiable or sociable in a social setting.

    *   Wait, let me re-examine Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    *   Sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend" (friendly advice, friendly neighborhood).
    *   Sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile" (amicable).
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "friendly" as in "sociable/amiable" is often grouped under a sense like "kindly" or "amicable."
    *   Looking at the provided options:
        1. characteristic of or befitting a friend.
        2. inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile.
    *   "Talkative, friendly lushes" means people who are acting in a friendly manner (sociable).
    *   Is "friendly" here "characteristic of a friend" or "not antagonistic"?
    *   Usually, "friendly" meaning "sociable" is closest to "amicable" or "not hostile."
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "friendly advice; a friendly neighborhood".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "a government friendly to our interests; an amicable agreement".
    *   Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
        *   `friendly` (adj)
            *   `friendly%3:00:01` (characteristic of a friend)
            *   `friendly%3:00:02` (allied)
            *   `friendly%3:00:03` (user-friendly)
            *   `friendly%5:00:00` (amicable)
    *   In the context of "friendly lushes," it means they are being amiable/sociable. This fits `friendly%5:00:00` (amicable) better than "characteristic of a friend" (which often describes a quality of an action or a place).

    *   Sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend"
    *   Sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile"
    *   "Friendly lushes" are people who are being amiable. "Amicable" is a synonym for this.

    *   Sense 1: friendly advice (the advice is like what a friend would give).
    *   Sense 2: a government friendly to our interests (the government is supportive/not hostile).
    *   "Friendly lushes" are people who are being sociable/amiable. This is a personality trait or a behavior in the moment.
    *   Between 1 and 2, 2 (amicable/not hostile) is the standard sense for "friendly" when describing a person's demeanor in a social setting.

    *   Sense 1: friendly advice, friendly neighborhood.
    *   Sense 2: amicable, favorable, well-disposed.
    *   "Talkative, friendly lushes" -> people who are well-disposed/amicable.

    *   Sense 1: `friendly%3:00:01`
    *   Sense 2: `friendly%5:00:00`
    *   Sense 3: `friendly%3:00:03`
    *   Sense 4: `friendly%3:00:02`
    *   The target is "friendly lushes." This is the "amicable" sense.

    *   Sense 1: "characteristic of or befitting a friend"
    *   Sense 2: "inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile"
    *   If someone is a "friendly person," they are not antagonistic; they are amiable.

    *   Wait, let me double-check if "friendly" as in "sociable" is Sense 1 or Sense 2.
    *   In some WordNet versions, `friendly%3:00:01` is "characteristic of a friend" and `friendly%5:00:00` is "amicable".
    *   "Amicable" means "characterized by friendliness and absence of quarrel."
    *   "Friendly" in "friendly lushes" means they are being sociable and amiable.
    *   This fits Sense 2 better.
