Target lemma: man
Target surface form: man
Context:
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 noticed -- 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. Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little <t>man</t>. He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing.

    *   Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish` (Example: "I wish I could go home now")
    *   Sense 6: `make or express a wish` (Example: "I wish that Christmas were over")

    Wait, let's look closer at the WordNet structure (though I'm not using the keys in the output).
    Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish`
    Sense 6: `make or express a wish`

    In the sentence "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted...", he is experiencing a feeling of regret/desire for a different past.

    Let's re-evaluate the senses provided:
    1. `hope for; have a wish` (Example: "I wish I could go home now")
    6. `make or express a wish` (Example: "I wish that Christmas were over")

    Actually, looking at the examples:
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now" (Desire for a current state to be different).
    Sense 6: "I wish that Christmas were over" (Desire for a future state or a current state to end).

    Wait, "I wish that he hadn't shouted" is a counterfactual wish about the past.

    Let's look at the definitions again.
    Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish`
    Sense 6: `make or express a wish`

    Usually, "wish" in the sense of "I wish I had..." or "I wish I were..." is categorized under the general sense of desiring something that is not the case.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 6:
    Sense 1 is more about the internal state ("hope for; have a wish").
    Sense 6 is more about the act of wishing ("make or express a wish").

    In "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted", it's an internal feeling of regret.

    Let's check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish`
    Sense 6: `make or express a wish`

    Actually, in many WordNet versions, "wish" as in "I wish I were" is grouped. Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now"
    Sense 6: "I wish that Christmas were over"

    Both examples are very similar. However, "hope for; have a wish" (Sense 1) is the core meaning of desiring something. "Make or express a wish" (Sense 6) often implies the act of wishing (like wishing on a star or stating a wish).

    In the context "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted", he is feeling the desire/regret.

    Let's re-read:
    Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish`
    Sense 6: `make or express a wish`

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    "He began to wish" -> He began to feel the desire that things were different. This aligns better with "have a wish" (Sense 1) than "make or express a wish" (Sense 6), which sounds more like a performative act.

    Wait, let me double-check the examples again.
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now"
    Sense 6: "I wish that Christmas were over"

    These examples are almost identical in function. Let me look at the definitions again.
    Sense 1: `hope for; have a wish`
    Sense 6: `make or express a wish`

    If Sense 6 is "make or express", it's the action. If Sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish", it's the state. "He began to wish" describes the onset of the feeling.

    Let's look at the provided senses one more time.
    1. hope for; have a wish
    2. invoke upon
    3. order politely
    4. prefer or wish to do something
    5. feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of
    6. make or express a wish

    In "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted", he is not "making" a wish (like a magic wish) or "expressing" it to anyone. He is "having" the wish/desire.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   The character (Haney) is reflecting on a past event: "that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing."
    *   He "shouted" during this event.
    *   The context suggests a reaction to a dangerous situation (a truck bearing down through a crossing).
    *   This is likely a sudden loud cry of warning or fear.

    *   Sense 1: "utter a sudden loud cry" (e.g., "cried with pain", "yelled to her from the window"). This fits a reaction to a truck coming through a crossing (warning someone or screaming in fear).
    *   Sense 2: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" (e.g., "I won!", "Help!"). This also fits, as it's an exclamation.
    *   Sense 3: "utter in a loud voice; talk in a loud voice" (characteristic manner). This doesn't fit; he wasn't just talking loudly.
    *   Sense 4: "use foul or abusive language towards". There is no indication he was abusing the truck driver or anyone else.

    *   Sense 1 is a general "sudden loud cry".
    *   Sense 2 is more about "exclaiming" specific words or phrases ("I won!", "Help!").
    *   In the context "shouted that other evening when the truck bore down", it's more likely he let out a shout (Sense 1) or yelled a warning (Sense 1). Sense 2 is often used for specific exclamations.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "she cried with pain", "I yelled to her from the window".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "'I won!' he exclaimed", "'Help!' she cried".
    *   The sentence "he hadn't shouted that other evening" doesn't provide a specific quote, but describes the act of shouting in a high-stress situation. Sense 1 ("utter a sudden loud cry") is the most general and fitting description for a reaction to a near-accident.

    *   Wait, let me re-read. "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing."
    *   If he shouted a warning, it's Sense 1.
    *   If he screamed in terror, it's Sense 1.
    *   If he yelled "Look out!", it could be Sense 1 or 2.
    *   Sense 1 synonyms: shout out, cry, call, yell, scream, holler.
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, call out.
    *   Sense 1 is more about the volume and suddenness of the sound. Sense 2 is more about the communicative act of exclaiming.
    *   Given the context of a truck bearing down, a sudden loud cry (Sense 1) is the most natural fit.

    *   Sense 1: sudden loud cry.
    *   Sense 2: utter aloud (exclaim).
    *   Sense 3: talk loudly.
    *   Sense 4: abuse.
    *   The action happened during a crisis (truck crossing). This is a "sudden loud cry".

    *   Sense 1: "utter a sudden loud cry"
    *   Sense 2: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy"
    *   The distinction is subtle. Sense 1 is often more visceral (pain, distance), while Sense 2 is more about the content of the exclamation. "Shouted" in the context of a truck bearing down is likely a visceral reaction or a loud warning. Sense 1's synonyms (scream, holler, yell) fit better than Sense 2's (exclaim).

    *   Sense 1: "she cried with pain", "I yelled to her from the window".
    *   Sense 2: "'I won!' he exclaimed", "'Help!' she cried".
    *   The context "shouted that other evening when the truck bore down" sounds like a general act of yelling/screaming rather than a specific exclamation.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   The phrase is "that other evening".
    *   In English, "the other evening" or "that other evening" typically refers to a specific evening in the recent past.
    *   Comparing with the candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1 (distant past) doesn't fit "evening".
        *   Sense 2 (not the same one) is too generic.
        *   Sense 3 (recently past) explicitly lists "the other evening" as an example.
        *   Sense 4 (strange/unusual) doesn't fit the temporal context of "evening" here.

    *   The sentence is: "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing."
    *   "that other evening" refers to a specific time of day in the past.
    *   It describes a point in time when an event (shouting when a truck bore down through the crossing) occurred.

    *   Sense 3 ("a later concluding time period") is metaphorical/figurative (e.g., "evening of the Roman Empire"). This doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 1 ("the early part of night... spent in a special way") usually refers to a social event or a specific duration of time spent doing something (e.g., "an evening at the opera").

    *   Let me re-read Sense 2: "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)".
    *   "That other evening" usually means "that other night/evening" (the time of day).

    *   "Bore down through" implies movement through a specific point.
    *   Common usage of "the crossing" in the context of trucks/vehicles often refers to a railroad crossing or a pedestrian crossing (crosswalk).
    *   Sense 1 (intersection) and Sense 7 (crosswalk/crossover/railroad crossing) are the strongest candidates.
    *   Sense 7 specifically mentions "a path (often marked) where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed". A "railroad crossing" is a very common meaning of "crossing" when vehicles are involved.
    *   Sense 1 is a general intersection of two roads.
    *   Looking at the phrase "bore down through the crossing", it sounds more like a specific point of passage (like a railroad crossing) than a general intersection of two streets.

    *   Sense 1: intersection, crossroad, crossway, carrefour.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk, crossover. (Note: "Railroad crossing" is often categorized here or similarly).

    *   In many contexts, "the crossing" refers to a railroad crossing. Sense 7's definition "a path... where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed" fits this perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: Junction of two roads.

    *   Let me re-read Sense 1: "a junction where one street or road crosses another".
    *   If a truck is "bearing down through the crossing", it's likely a railroad crossing. A railroad crossing is a place where a road crosses a railroad. This fits Sense 7's "where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed".

    *   Sense 1: Intersection of two roads.
    *   Sense 7: A place to cross a road or railroad.
    *   Usually, "the crossing" (singular, definite article) in a rural or industrial context refers to a railroad crossing.

    *   Sense 1: intersection, crossroad.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk, crossover.
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet's structure (though I can't see the full tree), "crossing" as in "railroad crossing" is typically Sense 7 (or similar).

    *   Sense 1: intersection of two roads.
    *   Sense 7: a place to cross a road or railroad.
    *   "Bore down through the crossing" -> The truck is moving through the area where the road crosses the tracks. This is a "crossing".

    *   Sense 1: intersection, crossroad.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk, crossover.
    *   If it were a street intersection, "intersection" or "crossroads" would be more common, but "crossing" is very common for railroad crossings.

    *   A railroad crossing is exactly where a road crosses a railroad.

    *   Sense 1: intersection.

    *   Wait, "crosswalk" is for pedestrians. "Crossover" can be for trains.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "a junction where one street or road crosses another".
    *   If the truck is "bearing down through the crossing", it could be an intersection.
    *   However, "the crossing" is a very specific term for a railroad crossing.

    *   Sense 1: intersection, crossroad, crossway, carrefour.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk, crossover.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "crossing" (railroad) is listed under the same sense as "crosswalk" or as its own. Let's re-examine Sense 7: "a path (often marked) where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed to get from one side to the other". This explicitly mentions "railroad".

    *   Sense 1: street/road crosses another street/road.
    *   Sense 7: street/railroad can be crossed.

    *   Sense 1: intersection.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk/railroad crossing.
    *   The most likely meaning of "the crossing" in this context is a railroad crossing.

    *   Sense 1: intersection.
    *   Sense 7: crosswalk/railroad crossing.
    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 again. "a junction where one street or road crosses another".
    *   If it's a railroad crossing, it's a road crossing a railroad, not a road crossing another road.
    *   Sense 7: "a path... where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed".
    *   This fits "railroad crossing" perfectly.

    *   Meaning: The character (Haney) is worried that he will be stuck with or burdened by an unwanted companion (the "creep").

    *   Sense 1: `impose a task upon, assign a responsibility to` (Synonyms: charge, burden). Example: "He charged her with cleaning up all the files over the weekend."
    *   Sense 2: `load or burden; encumber`. Example: "he saddled me with that heavy responsibility."
    *   Sense 3: `put a saddle on`. Example: "saddle the horses."

    *   Sense 3 is literal (horses) and clearly incorrect.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on tasks or responsibilities (assigning a job).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on being burdened or encumbered by something/someone unwanted.

    *   The context "saddled... with a creep for a bar-buddy" fits the idea of being encumbered or burdened by an unwanted person.
    *   While Sense 1 and Sense 2 are very similar (both involve burdening), Sense 1 is more about *assigning a task* (charge), whereas Sense 2 is more general *encumbrance* (burden/load). Being stuck with a person is more of an encumbrance (Sense 2) than a task assignment (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "impose a task upon, assign a responsibility to"
    *   Sense 2: "load or burden; encumber"
    *   The phrase "saddled with [someone]" typically aligns with "encumbered" or "burdened" by their presence/existence in one's life.

    *   Sense 1: "He charged her with cleaning up all the files" (Task-oriented).
    *   Sense 2: "he saddled me with that heavy responsibility" (Burden-oriented).
    *   Context: "saddled... with a creep" (Burden-oriented).

    Sense 2 is the best fit.

He'd have to <t>start</t> going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back.

    *   Sense 3: "any area set aside for a particular purpose" (property).
    *   Sense 5: "a point located with respect to surface features of some region" (spot).
    *   Sense 14: "a general vicinity".

    Comparing Sense 3 and Sense 5:
    Sense 3 is more about the *function* or *ownership* of the area (a property, an establishment).
    Sense 5 is more about a *location* or *spot*.

    In "going to some of the other places", he means other establishments (bars). Sense 3 is the most appropriate for a business or a specific type of venue.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 3: "any area set aside for a particular purpose | synonyms=property | examples=who owns this place?; the president was concerned about the property across from the White House".
    And Sense 5: "a point located with respect to surface features of some region | synonyms=topographic point, spot | examples=this is a nice place for a picnic; a bright spot on a planet".

    Actually, looking at WordNet's structure, "place" as in "establishment" is often mapped to sense 3 (property/area set aside for a purpose).

    Let's double-check if there's a better one.
    Sense 14: "a general vicinity". No.
    Sense 13: "a public square". No.

    Is there any other sense?
    Sense 3 seems the most fitting for "bars".

    Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again. "any area set aside for a particular purpose". A bar is definitely an area set aside for a particular purpose.

    Let's check Sense 5 again. "a point located with respect to surface features of some region". This is more like a "spot". "This is a nice place for a picnic."

    If he's talking about other bars, he's talking about other establishments. Sense 3 fits "establishment" better than Sense 5.

    *   Context: "Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again."
    *   "Places" = "Bars".
    *   Sense 3: "any area set aside for a particular purpose".

    This matches.

Target lemma: low
Target surface form: low
Context:
The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow. Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man. He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing. Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a <t>low</t> voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice.
