Target lemma: enjoy
Target surface form: enjoying
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. 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 little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord.

*   Target lemma: `enjoy`
    *   Target surface form: `enjoying`
    *   Context: "He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."
    *   Key elements: "weekly ritual", "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon".

    *   Sense 1: `derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in` (Synonyms: bask, relish, savor).
    *   Sense 2: `have benefit from` (Example: enjoy privileges).
    *   Sense 3: `get pleasure from` (Synonym: love).
    *   Sense 4: `have for one's benefit` (Example: industry enjoyed a boom).
    *   Sense 5: `take delight in` (Synonyms: delight, revel).

    *   The character is engaging in a "weekly ritual" involving drinking bourbon and thinking about a "pet grievance".
    *   The tone is somewhat ironic or specific to the character's habits.
    *   He is deriving a specific kind of pleasure/satisfaction from this ritual.
    *   Sense 1 (derive or receive pleasure from; relish, savor) fits well because "savoring" a ritual or a drink is a common usage.
    *   Sense 3 (get pleasure from; love) is more general.
    *   Sense 5 (take delight in; revel) is often more intense or active.
    *   Senses 2 and 4 are about benefits/possession, which doesn't fit here.

    *   Sense 1: "derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in" (Synonyms: bask, relish, savor).
    *   Sense 3: "get pleasure from" (Synonym: love).
    *   Sense 5: "take delight in" (Synonyms: delight, revel).

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 includes "relish" and "savor", which are very appropriate for the act of drinking bourbon and dwelling on a grievance (a slow, deliberate pleasure). Sense 3 is very generic ("love").

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 5: "Revel" or "delight" (Sense 5) might be too strong or too joyful for "washing down his pet grievance". "Savor" (Sense 1) fits the mood of a solitary man in a bar better.

    The context "enjoying the weekly ritual" suggests a habitual pleasure, often associated with savoring the experience. Sense 1 is the most comprehensive and fitting description of this type of enjoyment.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at the WordNet distinctions again.
    Sense 1: derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in.
    Sense 3: get pleasure from.
    Sense 5: take delight in.

    Wait, Sense 1 and Sense 3 are extremely similar. Let's look at the synonyms.
    Sense 1: bask, relish, savor.
    Sense 3: love.
    Sense 5: delight, revel.

    "Savoring" a ritual/drink is a perfect fit for Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in.
    *   Context: "enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon".
    *   This is a clear case of deriving pleasure/satisfaction from an activity.

    (Double-checking if Sense 3 is better: "I love cooking" vs "He relished the ritual". The ritual is something he savors/relishes).

    Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Meaning: The character has a habit or a customary practice of drinking bourbon and thinking about a grievance every week.

    *   Sense 1: "any customary observance or practice" (synonym: rite). This fits a personal habit or a repeated action.
    *   Sense 2: "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies". This is clearly not religious.
    *   Sense 3: "stereotyped behavior". This often refers to repetitive, non-functional, or compulsive behaviors (like in autism or OCD), or very rigid patterns.

    *   The context describes a "weekly ritual" of drinking bourbon. This is a personal habit or a customary practice.
    *   Sense 1 ("any customary observance or practice") is a broad term that covers personal habits and traditions.
    *   Sense 3 ("stereotyped behavior") usually implies something more mechanical or pathological in a linguistic/psychological context, though it can be used loosely.
    *   Comparing "customary observance or practice" (Sense 1) with "stereotyped behavior" (Sense 3), Sense 1 is the standard way to describe a personal routine or habit that someone "enjoys."

    *   Sense 1: Customary practice. (Fits perfectly).
    *   Sense 2: Religious. (Incorrect).
    *   Sense 3: Stereotyped behavior. (Less fitting than Sense 1).

    *   The phrase is "his pet grievance".
    *   The following sentence says "This favorite grievance was not the landlord."
    *   In this context, "pet" is used as an adjective modifying "grievance".
    *   "Pet grievance" means a favorite or habitual complaint.

    *   Sense 1 (animal) - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (special loved one) - This is a noun sense, but "pet" as an adjective often derives from the idea of "favorite" (as in "pet project" or "pet peeve"). Looking at the synonyms for Sense 2: "darling, favorite, favourite".
    *   Sense 3 (fit of petulance) - This is a noun sense ("to be in a pet"). Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4 (medical scan) - Incorrect.

    *   Wait, let me re-examine the candidate senses provided.
    *   Sense 1: animal.
    *   Sense 2: a special loved one (synonyms: favorite).
    *   Sense 3: a fit of petulance.
    *   Sense 4: PET scan.

    *   The word "pet" in "pet grievance" means "favorite".
    *   Sense 2's definition is "a special loved one", but its synonyms include "favorite".
    *   Is there another sense of "pet" (adjective) that means "favorite"?
    *   In WordNet, "pet" as an adjective meaning "favorite" is often grouped with the "favorite" sense.
    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: `definition=a special loved one | synonyms=darling, favorite, favourite, dearie, deary, ducky`.
    *   While the definition says "a special loved one" (noun), the synonyms include "favorite". In many WordNet versions, the adjective "pet" (meaning favorite) is linked to this sense or a closely related one.

    *   Sense 1: Animal (No)
    *   Sense 2: Favorite/Loved one (Yes, "pet grievance" = "favorite grievance")
    *   Sense 3: Sulk (No)
    *   Sense 4: PET scan (No)

    *   The context explicitly uses the word "favorite" in the next sentence: "This favorite grievance was not the landlord." This confirms that "pet" here means "favorite".

    *   Sense 2 is the only one that aligns with "favorite".

    *   Sense 3: `grievance%1:10:00::` - a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action.

    *   The context describes a "pet grievance" and a "favorite grievance" that the character ruminates on while drinking bourbon.
    *   This is a personal, internal feeling of being wronged, rather than a formal legal allegation (Sense 2).
    *   While it involves resentment (Sense 1), "pet grievance" usually refers to a specific complaint or a recurring theme of dissatisfaction (Sense 3) rather than a grudge specifically aimed at retaliation (Sense 1).
    *   Sense 3 ("a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment") fits the "pet grievance" idiom perfectly. A "pet peeve" or "pet grievance" is something one likes to complain about or dwell on.

    *   Sense 1 (grudge/score) is more about the *feeling* of resentment and the desire for payback.
    *   Sense 3 (complaint about a wrong) is more about the *subject* of the resentment (the "what" that is wrong).
    *   The text says "This favorite grievance was not the landlord," implying the grievance is the *thing* or *person* he is complaining about/dwelling on. This aligns better with Sense 3.

    *   Sense 1: grudge, score.
    *   Sense 2: legal allegation.
    *   Sense 3: complaint about a wrong.
    *   "Pet grievance" = a favorite thing to complain about. Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 6 is the biological necessity/drink.
    *   In the phrase "bourbon slightly moistened with water", it refers to the substance added to the drink. While Sense 6 mentions "a drink of water", Sense 1 is the most precise description of the substance being added to the bourbon. However, in many WSD tasks, "water" as a drink or a substance is often mapped to the most general sense (Sense 1) or the "drink" sense (Sense 6).
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 1: "binary compound... clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid".
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 6: "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants".
    *   Usually, when referring to water as an ingredient or a substance in a mixture, Sense 1 is the most accurate.

    *   Sense 1: H2O (the substance).

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 6. "he asked for a drink of water".
    *   Sense 1 is the chemical definition.
    *   In common usage, "water" in a drink is the substance.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 6: Sense 1 is the substance itself. Sense 6 is the substance in the role of a biological necessity.
    *   Most WordNet-based disambiguation tasks map the general substance to the most basic definition unless it's specifically about the biological need.

    *   6: liquid necessary for life
    *   If you add water to bourbon, you are adding the substance H2O.

    *   Let's double-check if there's any nuance. "moistened with water".
    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate.

    *   Sense 1: water%1:27:00::
    *   Sense 6: water%1:13:00::
    *   Looking at the WordNet hierarchy, `water%1:13:00` is often a more specific usage (the drink), while `water%1:27:00` is the substance.
    *   In "bourbon slightly moistened with water", it's the substance.

    *   Wait, I just noticed Sense 6 is "a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants". This is almost a definition of the substance too, but framed biologically.
    *   Sense 1 is the chemical definition.
    *   Usually, for "water" in a glass or in a drink, Sense 1 is the standard choice unless the biological aspect is emphasized.

    *   Let's re-read: "bourbon slightly moistened with water".
    *   This is the substance. Sense 1.

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 little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes.

*   Target word: "grievance"
    *   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."
    *   Key phrases: "pet grievance", "washing down... with bourbon", "favorite grievance".

    *   Sense 1: `grievance%1:12:00::` - a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation (synonyms: grudge, score).
    *   Sense 2: `grievance%1:10:01::` - an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice (legal/formal context).
    *   Sense 3: `grievance%1:10:00::` - a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action.

    *   The context describes a "pet grievance" that the character "washes down with bourbon." This implies a personal, recurring feeling of being wronged or a complaint he dwells on.
    *   Sense 2 (legal allegation) is clearly incorrect; there is no mention of legal rights or formal allegations.
    *   Sense 1 (resentment justifying retaliation/grudge) is close, but "pet grievance" usually refers to a specific complaint or a perceived wrong that one likes to dwell on, rather than necessarily a grudge that *must* be settled with retaliation.
    *   Sense 3 (a complaint about a wrong that causes resentment) fits "pet grievance" perfectly. A "pet grievance" is a specific complaint someone enjoys maintaining.

    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *resentment* and the *retaliation* (grudge/score).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *complaint* about the wrong.
    *   "Pet grievance" is a common idiom for a complaint someone frequently brings up or thinks about. While it involves resentment, it's more about the "complaint" (the thing being complained about) than a "score to settle."

    *   Sense 3 is the most general and fits the "pet grievance" usage best.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation".
    *   Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action".
    *   In the context of "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon," he is dwelling on a perceived wrong. This is a classic "complaint" (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: grudge, score.
    *   Sense 3: complaint.
    *   "Pet grievance" is more like a "pet peeve" or a "favorite complaint" than a "score to settle."

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   The sentence is: "He had already quite forgotten about him."
    *   The "him" refers to the landlord.
    *   The context describes a character sitting in a bar, thinking about grievances. He mentions that the landlord is *not* the current favorite grievance because he has "already quite forgotten about him."
    *   This implies that the landlord is no longer on his mind; he has stopped thinking about him or dismissed him from his current train of thought/grievances.

    *   Sense 1: "dismiss from the mind; stop remembering". This fits well. He stopped thinking about the landlord as a source of grievance.
    *   Sense 2: "be unable to remember". This usually refers to a failure of memory retrieval (e.g., "I forgot his name"). In this context, he hasn't forgotten *who* the landlord is, but rather has stopped dwelling on him.
    *   Sense 3: "forget to do something". Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 4: "leave behind unintentionally". Not applicable here.

    *   Sense 1 (dismiss from the mind) vs. Sense 2 (unable to remember).
    *   "Forgotten about him" in the context of a grievance suggests that the person is no longer a concern or a focus of thought. This aligns better with "dismiss from the mind" or "stop remembering" (in the sense of no longer dwelling on) than with a memory lapse (unable to recall).

    *   Sense 1: `forget%2:31:01::` (dismiss from the mind; stop remembering)
    *   Sense 2: `forget%2:31:00::` (be unable to remember)
    *   The phrase "forgotten about him" often leans towards Sense 1 when it means "no longer thinking about" or "no longer concerned with".

    *   Sense 1: "I tried to bury these unpleasant memories" (dismiss from the mind).
    *   Sense 2: "I'm drawing a blank" (unable to remember).
    *   The character in the story isn't drawing a blank about the landlord; he's just not thinking about him anymore.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   In the sentence "he had only mentioned him", "him" is the object. You "mention someone" (refer to them). You "remark that..." or "note that...". While you can "mention something", "mentioning him" aligns most strongly with "making reference to him" or "bringing him up".

    *   Surrounding context: The character has a "favorite grievance" (which he was washing down with bourbon), but he had mentioned the landlord on the spur of the moment. The text clarifies that the *actual* or *true* source of his grievance is Lolly.

    *   Sense 1: `real%3:00:00::` - being or occurring in fact or actuality; not illusory (e.g., real objects, not ghosts).
    *   Sense 2: `real%3:00:02::` - no less than what is stated; worthy of the name (e.g., the real reason, real war).

    *   Sense 9: `real%5:00:02:realistic:00` - coinciding with reality; veridical.

    *   The sentence "His real grievance was Lolly" contrasts a superficial or mentioned grievance (the landlord) with the actual, genuine, or essential grievance (Lolly).
    *   This matches the idea of "actual motive" or "genuine character" found in Sense 5.
    *   Sense 2 ("the real reason") is also very close. Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 5.
        *   Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" (Example: "the real reason").
        *   Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" (Synonyms: actual, genuine; Example: "her actual motive").

    *   In the context "His real grievance was Lolly," the word "real" is used to distinguish the true source of his feeling from a distraction or a minor point. This is almost identical to "the real reason" (Sense 2) or "her actual motive" (Sense 5).
    *   Looking closer at Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". This often implies that something is "true" in a way that validates the term used.
    *   Looking closer at Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". This fits the contrast between a superficial mention and the actual core issue.

    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 2: "the real reason". "Real grievance" is structurally and semantically very similar to "real reason".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 5: "actual motive". "Real grievance" is also very similar to "actual motive".

    *   Let's look at the WordNet structure if possible (though I only have the provided list).
    *   Sense 2: `real%3:00:02::` (no less than what is stated; worthy of the name)
    *   Sense 5: `real%5:00:00:true:00` (being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something)

    *   In "His real grievance was Lolly," the author is identifying the *actual* person he is upset with, as opposed to the landlord he just mentioned. This is about the *actual* identity of the grievance.

    *   Comparing "the real reason" (Sense 2) and "her actual motive" (Sense 5):
        *   "The real reason" often contrasts a stated reason with the true one.
        *   "Actual motive" also contrasts a perceived motive with the true one.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   Let's look at the definition for Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".

    *   If I say "the real reason," I mean the actual reason. If I say "his real grievance," I mean his actual grievance.
    *   Sense 5's "reflecting the essential or genuine character" seems to fit the "true source" meaning better than "worthy of the name."

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2 again: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". Example: "the real reason". This is a very common way to describe the "actual" reason when a different one was previously suggested or implied.

    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". Example: "her actual motive".

    *   Actually, "the real reason" (Sense 2) and "actual motive" (Sense 5) are extremely similar. Let's see if there's a nuance.
    *   Sense 2: "no less than what is stated" (This is a bit confusingly phrased).
    *   Sense 5: "actual, genuine".

    *   In the context: "In fact, he had only mentioned him [the landlord] on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly."
    *   This is a contrast between a superficial mention and the *actual* truth.

    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "the real reason". This is almost a perfect match for "the real grievance".
    *   Let's check Sense 5 again: "her actual motive". This is also a perfect match.

    *   Let's look at the sense keys.
        *   Sense 2: `real%3:00:02::`
        *   Sense 5: `real%5:00:00:true:00`

    *   Usually, "real" meaning "actual" (as in "the real reason") is mapped to the sense that emphasizes the genuine nature over a false or superficial one.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". This sounds more like "a real challenge" (a challenge that is actually challenging).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". This sounds more like "the real reason" (the genuine reason).

    *   Wait, the example for Sense 2 is "the real reason". If the example for Sense 2 is "the real reason", then "the real grievance" should be Sense 2.

    *   Let me double-check Sense 2's definition again: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". This is a bit odd for "the real reason", but if the example is "the real reason", I should probably trust the example.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 5 again: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something... synonyms=actual, genuine, literal... examples=her actual motive".

    *   "Real grievance" vs "Real reason" vs "Actual motive".
    *   "His real grievance was Lolly" (The actual person he was aggrieved with).
    *   This is more about the *identity* of the grievance than whether the grievance is "worthy of the name" (Sense 2).

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". Example: "the real reason".
    *   If I say "the real reason", I'm saying "this is the reason that is actually the reason".

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something". Example: "her actual motive".
    *   If I say "her actual motive", I'm saying "this is the motive that is actually the motive".

    *   This is very subtle. Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   "His actual grievance was Lolly." (Fits perfectly).
    *   "His genuine grievance was Lolly." (Fits perfectly).

    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again. "Worthy of the name". "A real diamond" (a diamond that is actually a diamond). "A real reason" (a reason that is actually a reason, not just an excuse).

    *   In the context, the character mentioned the landlord, but that wasn't the *actual* source of his grievance. Lolly was. This is a contrast between a false/superficial reason and the actual/genuine one.

    *   Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".
    *   Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".

    *   If the contrast is "He mentioned the landlord, but the *actual* person he's mad at is Lolly," Sense 5 ("actual, genuine") feels slightly stronger than Sense 2 ("worthy of the name").

    *   Wait, let me search for "real reason" in WordNet. Often "real reason" is used as an example for the sense meaning "actual".

    *   Let's look at the examples again:
        Sense 2: "the real reason; real war"
        Sense 5: "her actual motive; a literal solitude like a desert"

    *   "Real reason" and "actual motive" are almost identical. "Real grievance" is closer to "real reason" and "actual motive".

    *   Let's look at the definitions one more time.
        Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
        Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

    *   If the grievance is "real" because it's the *actual* one (as opposed to the one he just mentioned), it's reflecting the genuine character of his situation.

    *   Let's try to see if "real reason" in Sense 2 means "the reason that is actually the reason" or "a reason that is a *true* reason (not a fake one)".
    *   "The real reason I'm leaving is that I hate this place" (Actual reason).
    *   "That's not a real reason for leaving" (Not a valid/worthy reason).

    *   In the context "His real grievance was Lolly," it means "The actual person he was aggrieved with was Lolly." This is the "actual reason" sense.

    *   Now, is "actual reason" Sense 2 or Sense 5?
        Sense 2 example: "the real reason"
        Sense 5 example: "her actual motive"

    *   This is incredibly close. Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: (none provided).

    *   Let's think about the contrast again:
        Mentioned: Landlord (superficial/spur of the moment)
        Real: Lolly (actual/genuine)

    *   This contrast (superficial vs. actual) is exactly what "actual motive" (Sense 5) and "real reason" (Sense 2) describe.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2's definition: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".
    *   If I say "the real reason," am I saying the reason is "worthy of the name 'reason'"? Not necessarily. I'm saying it's the *actual* reason.

    *   Wait, if Sense 2's definition is "worthy of the name," then "real war" means a war that is a "true war" (not just a skirmish). "The real reason" would mean a reason that is a "true reason" (not just an excuse).

    *   If Sense 5's definition is "reflecting the essential or genuine character," then "her actual motive" means the motive that is actually her motive.

    *   In "His real grievance was Lolly," the author is not saying Lolly is a "worthy" grievance, but that Lolly is the *actual* person he is aggrieved with.

    *   Therefore, Sense 5 ("actual, genuine") is a better fit than Sense 2 ("worthy of the name").

    *   Wait, let me double-check the "real reason" example in Sense 2 again. If "the real reason" is listed as an example for "worthy of the name," that's very confusing. Let me re-read: "sense_key=real%3:00:02:: | definition=no less than what is stated; worthy of the name | examples=the real reason; real war".

    *   If "the real reason" is the example for "worthy of the name," then maybe "real" in "the real reason" *does* mean "the actual one" in that sense?

    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "sense_key=real%5:00:00:true:00 | definition=being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; ; - G.K.Chesterton | synonyms=actual, genuine, literal | examples=her actual motive; a literal solitude like a desert".

    *   "Actual motive" and "real reason" are so similar. Let's look at the context one more time.
        "In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly."

    *   This is a contrast between a fake/superficial mention and the actual truth.
    *   "Actual" and "genuine" (Sense 5) fit this perfectly.
    *   "Worthy of the name" (Sense 2) doesn't fit as well, even if "the real reason" is listed as an example.

    *   Let's think: "The real reason I'm late is traffic" (Actual reason).
    *   "That's not a real reason to quit your job" (Not a valid/worthy reason).

    *   In the context, "His real grievance was Lolly" means "The actual person he was aggrieved with was Lolly." This is the "actual reason" sense.

    *   Now, is "actual reason" Sense 2 or Sense 5?
        If Sense 2 is "worthy of the name" and Sense 5 is "actual/genuine," then "actual reason" should be Sense 5.

    *   But Sense 2 *explicitly* lists "the real reason" as an example.

    *   Let me re-read Sense 5's example: "her actual motive".
    *   "Real reason" and "actual motive" are almost identical.

    *   Let's look at the sense keys again.
        Sense 2: `real%3:00:02::`
        Sense 5: `real%5:00:00:true:00`

    *   Wait, I just noticed something. Sense 2's definition is "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name". If I say "the real reason," I might be saying "the reason that is *actually* the reason, as opposed to the one I just stated." This would fit "no less than what is stated" (though the phrasing is still weird).

    *   Let's try to find another example for Sense 5: "a literal solitude like a desert". This is about the *essential character* of the solitude.

    *   Let's try to find another example for Sense 2: "real war". A "real war" is one that is "worthy of the name" war (as opposed to a small conflict).

    *   If "real war" means "a war that is actually a war," then "the real reason" means "a reason that is actually the reason."

    *   Let's compare:
        "His real grievance was Lolly" (The actual person he's mad at).
        "The real reason I'm late is traffic" (The actual reason).
        "Her actual motive was greed" (The actual motive).

    *   All three are the same sense. Now I have to choose between Sense 2 and Sense 5.
        Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name" (Example: "the real reason")
        Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something" (Example: "her actual motive")

    *   This is a toss-up. Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   "His actual grievance was Lolly."
    *   "His genuine grievance was Lolly."

    *   These synonyms are very strong. Let's look at the definition of Sense 5 again: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".

    *   If the "grievance" is the "essential character" of his mood, then Sense 5 fits.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".
    *   If the "real reason" is the one that is "no less than what is stated" (meaning it's the true one), then Sense 2 fits.

    *   Wait, "no less than what is stated" is a very strange definition for "the real reason". Let me think about it. If I say "He is a real man," I mean he is "worthy of the name" man. If I say "This is a real diamond," I mean it is "no less than what is stated" (it's actually a diamond).

    *   If I say "the real reason," am I saying the reason is "worthy of the name 'reason'"? No. I'm saying it's the *actual* reason.

    *   So why is "the real reason" an example for Sense 2?
    *   Maybe "the real reason" in Sense 2 means "the reason that is actually the reason" (as opposed to a fake one).

    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "Being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something." Example: "her actual motive".

    *   "Actual motive" and "real reason" are so similar that the distinction must be in the definitions.
    *   Sense 2: "worthy of the name"
    *   Sense 5: "essential or genuine character"

    *   "His real grievance was Lolly."
    *   Is Lolly "worthy of the name" grievance? No, Lolly is the *person* he has a grievance *against*.
    *   Wait, the sentence is "His real grievance was Lolly." This means "The person who was the object of his real grievance was Lolly."

    *   So "real" modifies "grievance."
    *   Is the grievance "worthy of the name" grievance? (Sense 2)
    *   Or is the grievance "the genuine/actual" grievance? (Sense 5)

    *   It's definitely the latter. He has many grievances, but the *genuine* one, the *actual* one, is the one involving Lolly.

    *   Therefore, Sense 5 is the most fitting.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 2 one more time. "the real reason".
    *   If I say "the real reason I'm late is traffic," I'm not saying the reason is "worthy of the name 'reason'." I'm saying it's the *actual* reason.

    *   If "the real reason" is an example for Sense 2, then Sense 2 *must* include the meaning of "actual."

    *   Let's look at the sense keys again.
        Sense 2: `real%3:00:02::`
        Sense 5: `real%5:00:00:true:00`

    *   In many WordNet versions, `real%3:00:02::` is "actual" and `real%5:00:00:true:00` is "genuine".

    *   Let's re-read:
        Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
        Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

    *   If I have to choose the *single best* sense:
        "His real grievance was Lolly."
        This is contrasting a superficial mention (the landlord) with the actual truth (Lolly).
        This is the definition of "actual" or "genuine."

    *   Sense 5 synonyms: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   Sense 5 example: "her actual motive".

    *   This seems like a very strong match.

    *   Let's just quickly check the other senses to be sure.
        Sense 1: "not illusory" (not ghosts) - No.
        Sense 3: "serious" (poverty is real) - No.
        Sense 4: "tangible" (real benefits) - No.
        Sense 6: "inflation" - No.
        Sense 7: "substantial" (substantial world) - No.
        Sense 8: "real estate" - No.
        Sense 9: "veridical" - No.

    *   So it's between 2 and 5.
    *   Sense 2: "worthy of the name" (Example: "the real reason")
    *   Sense 5: "essential or genuine character" (Example: "her actual motive")

    *   Given the synonyms "actual, genuine" for Sense 5, and the example "her actual motive," Sense 5 feels like the most precise fit for "his real grievance was Lolly."

    *   Wait, let me think about "the real reason" (Sense 2) one more time.
    *   "The real reason" often means "the reason that is actually the reason."
    *   "His real grievance" means "the grievance that is actually the grievance."

    *   If "the real reason" is the example for Sense 2, and "her actual motive" is the example for Sense 5, and "real reason" and "actual motive" are the same thing... then the examples are contradictory.

    *   Let me look at the definitions again.
        Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name"
        Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something"

    *   "His real grievance was Lolly."
    *   Is the grievance "worthy of the name" (Sense 2) or does it "reflect the genuine character" (Sense 5)?

    *   It reflects the genuine character of his feelings.

    *   Let's try to see if "real reason" can mean "worthy of the name reason."
        "I told my boss I was sick, but the real reason I was late was that I overslept."
        In this case, "the real reason" is the *actual* reason. It's not about being "worthy" of the name reason.

    *   So, if "the real reason" is an example for Sense 2, then Sense 2's definition "worthy of the name" must be interpreted broadly to include "actual."

    *   But Sense 5's definition "essential or genuine character" and synonyms "actual, genuine" are *much* more direct.

    *   Let's go with Sense 5.

    *   Wait, let me search for "real reason" and "actual motive" in a WordNet-like context.
    *   Actually, in some versions of WordNet:
        `real%3:00:02` is "actual"
        `real%5:00:00:true` is "genuine"

    *   If "real reason" is `real%3:00:02` and "actual motive" is `real%5:00:00:true`, then the distinction is very fine.

    *   Let's look at the context again.
        "In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly."
        This is a contrast between a superficial mention and the actual truth.

    *   This is exactly what "the real reason" (Sense 2) and "her actual motive" (Sense 5) both mean.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5 again: "actual, genuine, literal".
    *   "His actual grievance was Lolly."
    *   "His genuine grievance was Lolly."

    *   These are perfect. Let's look at the definition of Sense 5 again: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".

    *   This fits perfectly. The "real grievance" is the one that reflects the genuine character of his anger.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 2's definition: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name".
    *   This still feels more like "a real diamond" or "a real challenge."

    *   I'll stick with Sense 5.

    *   Wait, one last look.
        Sense 2: "the real reason"
        Sense 5: "her actual motive"
        Context: "His real grievance was Lolly"

        If I have to choose between "real reason" and "actual motive," "real grievance" is almost a perfect blend of the two.

        Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5 again: "actual, genuine, literal".
        If I replace "real" with "actual" or "genuine," it works perfectly.

        Let's look at the definition of Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something".
        The "real grievance" is the one that is the *essential* or *genuine* one.

        This seems solid.

*   Target word: "grievance"
    *   Context: The character is drinking bourbon and dwelling on a "pet grievance." He mentions it's not the landlord, but "His real grievance was Lolly."
    *   Tone: Personal, moody, internal resentment.

    *   Sense 1: `grievance%1:12:00::` - a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation (synonyms: grudge, score).
    *   Sense 2: `grievance%1:10:01::` - an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice (legal/formal context).
    *   Sense 3: `grievance%1:10:00::` - a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action.

    *   Sense 2 is clearly wrong (not a legal allegation).
    *   Sense 1 focuses on "resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" (grudge).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment."

    *   The text says "washing down his pet grievance" and "His real grievance was Lolly."
    *   "Pet grievance" suggests a recurring complaint or a personal grudge.
    *   Is it a "complaint" (Sense 3) or a "resentment/grudge" (Sense 1)?
    *   In the context of "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon," he is ruminating on a personal wrong.
    *   Sense 1 (grudge) fits the emotional state of sitting alone in a bar, moodily thinking about someone (Lolly).
    *   Sense 3 (complaint) often implies the act of complaining or a specific ground for action.
    *   However, "pet grievance" is a common idiom for a recurring complaint/resentment.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "grudge, score". "His real grudge was Lolly" fits perfectly.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong".
    *   Comparing "grudge" vs "complaint": The character isn't necessarily filing a formal complaint; he's nursing a feeling. "Pet grievance" usually refers to a specific thing one complains about (even to oneself).
    *   Wait, "pet grievance" usually means a subject that someone likes to complain about.
    *   Let's re-read: "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon". This implies the *subject* of his resentment.
    *   Sense 1: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation".
    *   Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment".
    *   Usually, "pet grievance" aligns more with the "complaint" aspect (Sense 3), even if the complaint is internal. But "grudge" (Sense 1) is very close.
    *   Let's look at the distinction in WordNet:
        *   1: resentment/grudge (the feeling).
        *   3: complaint (the thing complained about).
    *   "His real grievance was Lolly." -> Lolly is the object of the grievance.
    *   If it were Sense 1: "His real grudge was Lolly." (Works)
    *   If it were Sense 3: "His real complaint was Lolly." (Works)
    *   "Pet grievance" almost always refers to the *topic* of the complaint.
    *   Let's check common usage of "pet grievance". It's often used interchangeably with "pet peeve" or a recurring complaint.
    *   Sense 3 mentions "real or imaginary wrong". This fits the "pet" nature of the grievance.
    *   Sense 1 is more about the *desire for retaliation* ("settling a score"). There is no indication here that he wants to retaliate against Lolly, just that he's moodily thinking about her.

    *   Sense 1: Resentment/Grudge (Focus on retaliation/score).
    *   Sense 3: Complaint about a wrong (Focus on the subject of resentment).
    *   The context "pet grievance" and "His real grievance was Lolly" points toward the subject of his dissatisfaction/complaint.

    *   Sense 3 is the broader, more common sense for a personal "grievance" that isn't necessarily a legal one (Sense 2) or a specific vendetta (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: grudge, score.
    *   Sense 3: complaint.
    *   "Pet grievance" = a favorite thing to complain about. This aligns better with Sense 3.

        *   Sense 3: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (e.g., the end was exciting).

    *   "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" refers to the final portion of the drink (the liquid remaining) or the final stage of the activity of drinking it.
    *   If it refers to the liquid remaining, it might be Sense 5 ("a final part or section").
    *   If it refers to the activity, it's Sense 3.

    *   Let's check Sense 5: "a final part or section" (e.g., end of the section). This usually refers to a physical part of a document or a physical object.
    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "the point in time at which something ends".
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "the concluding parts of an event or occurrence".

    *   "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball"
    *   Is the "highball" the drink itself (the object) or the act of drinking it (the event)?
    *   Usually, "the end of the [drink]" means the final part of the liquid or the final stage of drinking it.
    *   If it's the final part of the liquid, it's a "final part or section" (Sense 5).
    *   If it's the final stage of the activity, it's "concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (Sense 3).

    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "the end of the year; the ending of warranty period". These are time-based.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie". These are event-based.
    *   Drinking a drink is an event.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 5 again: "a final part or section". Example: "we have given it at the end of the section... Start at the beginning and go on until you come to the end". This seems to refer to a linear sequence (like a book or a path).

    *   Is "the end of his fourth hairy highball" more like "the end of the movie" (Sense 3) or "the end of the year" (Sense 2)?
    *   It's more like "the end of the movie" because drinking the drink is an activity/event.

    *   Let's double-check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: extremity of something that has length. (No)
    *   Sense 2: point in time at which something ends. (Maybe, but usually for time periods)
    *   Sense 3: concluding parts of an event or occurrence. (Strong candidate)
    *   Sense 5: final part or section. (Maybe, if referring to the liquid)

    *   In "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball", the "highball" is the object, but the phrase "the end of the [object]" often metonymically refers to the process of consuming it.
    *   If we take "highball" as the event of drinking the highball, Sense 3 fits perfectly.
    *   If we take "highball" as the physical drink, "the end of the drink" refers to the last bit of it. This would be a "final part or section" (Sense 5).

    *   Let's compare "the end of the movie" (Sense 3) and "the end of the section" (Sense 5).
    *   A movie is an event. A section is a part of a whole.
    *   A highball (the drink) is a physical object. But "the end of the drink" is almost always used to mean the final stage of drinking it.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "the point in time at which something ends".
    *   "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" -> "Toward the point in time at which he finished his fourth hairy highball". This also makes sense.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 2: ending
        *   Sense 3: last, final stage

    *   "Toward the final stage of his fourth hairy highball" (Sense 3)
    *   "Toward the ending of his fourth hairy highball" (Sense 2)

    *   Sense 3 ("final stage") feels slightly more natural for an activity like drinking.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again. "the end of the year". The year is a period of time.
    *   Is "his fourth hairy highball" a period of time? No.
    *   Is it an event or occurrence? Yes, the act of drinking it is.

    *   Let's check Sense 5 again: "a final part or section". "the end of the section".
    *   If you are at the end of a drink, you are at the final part of the liquid.

    *   Let's search for "toward the end of the drink".
    *   Usually, this means as the person was finishing the drink.
    *   This is an occurrence/event.

    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and 3 again.
        *   Sense 2: point in time (end of the year)
        *   Sense 3: concluding parts of an event (end of the movie)
    *   Drinking a drink is more like a movie (an event) than a year (a time period).

    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the most likely.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 5 one more time. "a final part or section".
    *   If "highball" is the object, "the end of the highball" is the final part of the liquid.
    *   But "toward the end of" usually refers to the progression of an activity.

    *   Let's look at the context: "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball... he became aware that he was not alone."
    *   This describes a point in time during the process of drinking.
    *   This fits "concluding parts of an event or occurrence" (Sense 3).

    *   Let's double-check Sense 2 again. "the point in time at which something ends".
    *   If "something" is the act of drinking the highball, then Sense 2 could work.
    *   But Sense 3 specifically mentions "event or occurrence", and drinking a drink is an occurrence.

    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "the end was exciting; I had to miss the last of the movie".
    *   "Toward the end of the movie" is a very common phrase.
    *   "Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball" is structurally identical.

    *   Final check:
        *   Sense 2: point in time (year, warranty period)
        *   Sense 3: concluding parts of an event (movie)
        *   Sense 5: final part or section (section of a book)

    *   The act of drinking a highball is an event. Sense 3 is the best fit.

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. 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 <t>making</t> 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.

    Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 5:
    "Making wet rings" is very similar to "making a mess". It's the creation of a physical state or mark. Sense 3's example "make a mess" is a perfect parallel. Sense 5 is more about causing an event or a reaction ("make a stir", "cause a commotion").

    Sense 3 is the best fit.
