10. sense_key=floor%1:06:02:: | definition=a large room in a exchange where the trading is done | synonyms=trading floor | examples=he is a floor trader

Analysis of the context:
"...broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor."

The word "floor" here refers to the surface of the room where the objects (glass, file cabinets) are located after a disruption ("everything had fallen").

Comparing with candidate senses:
1. sense_key=floor%1:06:00:: | definition=the inside lower horizontal surface (as of a room, hallway, tent, or other structure) | synonyms=flooring. This perfectly matches the idea of the surface of a room where things are dumped.
2. sense_key=floor%1:06:01:: (Level/storey). Incorrect.
3. sense_key=floor%1:10:00:: (Lower limit). Incorrect.
4. sense_key=floor%1:17:01:: (Ground/earth). While related to a surface, the context implies an indoor room surface, not the natural ground.
5. sense_key=floor%1:17:00:: (Water bottom). Incorrect.
6. sense_key=floor%1:17:02:: (Hollow structure bottom). Too specific, and the context suggests a room floor.
7. sense_key=floor%1:14:00:: (Occupants). Incorrect.
8. sense_key=floor%1:07:00:: (Parliamentary right). Incorrect.
9. sense_key=floor%1:06:03:: (Legislative hall). Incorrect.
10. sense_key=floor%1:06:02:: (Trading room). Incorrect.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target word: favorite
Collocation: "favorite watering hole"

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=favorite%5:00:00:popular:00 | definition=appealing to the general public | synonyms=favourite | examples=a favorite tourist attraction
2. sense_key=favorite%5:00:00:loved:00 | definition=preferred above all others and treated with partiality | synonyms=favored, favourite, best-loved, pet, preferred, preferent | examples=the favored child

Analysis:
The phrase is "favorite watering hole". A "watering hole" is a place (usually a bar or pub).
Does "favorite watering hole" mean a place that is generally popular (Sense 1)? It could, but it usually implies a personal preference.
Does "favorite watering hole" mean a place that is preferred above all others by the speaker (Sense 2)? This fits the common usage of "favorite" when referring to a personal spot or establishment.

Sense 2 (loved/preferred above all others) aligns much better with the personal nature of choosing a specific "watering hole" for a game. While Sense 1 (popular) is related, Sense 2 captures the subjective preference implied by the context.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

Target lemma: wait
Target surface form: waiting

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=wait%2:42:00:: | definition=stay in one place and anticipate or expect something | examples=I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets
2. sense_key=wait%2:42:01:: | definition=wait before acting | synonyms=hold off, hold back | examples=the scientists held off announcing their results until they repeated the experiment

4. sense_key=wait%2:41:00:: | definition=serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant | synonyms=waitress | examples=I'm waiting on tables at Maxim's

Analysis of the context:
"I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start."
The speaker is physically present ("in my favorite watering hole") and is anticipating an event ("the game to start").

Evaluation of senses:
1. sense_key=wait%2:42:00: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something". This matches the context perfectly. The speaker is staying put (in the watering hole) while anticipating the game.
2. sense_key=wait%2:42:01: "wait before acting". This implies a delay in action, which is not the primary meaning here. The waiting is passive anticipation.
3. sense_key=wait%2:31:00: "look forward to the probable occurrence of". This focuses heavily on the mental anticipation/expectation ("look forward to"). While related, sense 1 is more comprehensive as it includes the physical aspect ("stay in one place") which is implied by the context ("I was in my favorite watering hole"). However, sense 3 is also very strong, focusing on the mental state of anticipation. Let's compare 1 and 3.
    * Sense 1: stay in one place AND anticipate/expect.
    * Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of (anticipation/expectation).
    The phrase "waiting for the game to start" strongly implies both staying put and anticipating. Sense 1 captures both the physical state and the anticipation.
4. sense_key=wait%2:41:00: "serve as a waiter or waitress". This is clearly incorrect.

Comparing 1 and 3:
The context is "waiting for the game to start."
Sense 1: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something." (Perfect fit)
Sense 3: "look forward to the probable occurrence of." (Focuses only on the mental aspect of anticipation, though it is a strong synonym for waiting for something).

Sense 1 is the most precise description of the action implied by the context.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best choice.

Context: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the <t>game</t> to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together."

Target word: game

Candidate senses:
1. a contest with rules to determine a winner
2. a single play of a sport or other contest
3. an amusement or pastime
4. animal hunted for food or sport
5. (tennis) a division of play during which one player serves
6. (games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win
7. the flesh of wild animals that is used for food
8. a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal)
9. the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game
10. your occupation or line of work
11. frivolous or trifling behavior

Analysis:
The context mentions "waiting for the game to start" in a "favorite watering hole" (a place where people gather, often for leisure/socializing). The subsequent event is an earthquake, which interrupts the activity.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **a contest with rules to determine a winner:** Plausible. Many social gatherings involve games/contests.
2. **a single play of a sport or other contest:** Plausible, but perhaps too specific if it's a casual gathering.
3. **an amusement or pastime:** Very plausible. This covers general leisure activities, which fits the setting of a "watering hole."
4. **animal hunted for food or sport:** Unlikely in a watering hole setting unless it's a very specific type of venue.
5. **(tennis) a division of play...:** Too specific (tennis).
6. **(games) the score...:** Unlikely to be referred to as "the game" when waiting for it to start, unless the context was about the score itself.
7. **the flesh of wild animals...:** Highly unlikely.
8. **a secret scheme...:** Unlikely in this casual setting.
9. **the game equipment...:** Unlikely to be referred to as "the game" when waiting for it to start.
10. **your occupation or line of work:** Highly unlikely.
11. **frivolous or trifling behavior:** Unlikely to be referred to as "the game" when waiting for it to start.

Comparing 1, 2, and 3:
If the game is a formal contest (1 or 2), it fits.
If the game is a general pastime/amusement (3), it fits broadly.

Since the context is a casual social setting ("favorite watering hole"), "amusement or pastime" (Sense 3) is the most encompassing and natural fit for an activity that one waits for to "start" in such a location, whether it's a board game, card game, or other leisure activity. While it could be a formal contest (Sense 1), Sense 3 is the broader, safer, and most contextually appropriate interpretation of leisure activity in a social venue.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best choice.

The context is "waiting for the game to start." This refers to the commencement of a sporting event or competition.

Sense 9 ("begin or set in motion," synonyms: go, get going; Example: Ready, set, go!) is a very general fit for the commencement of an event.
Sense 1 ("take the first step or steps in carrying out an action," synonyms: begin, get, start out) is also a good fit.
Sense 2 ("set in motion, cause to start") is also applicable, but often implies an external agent causing the start.

Sense 9, with its example "Ready, set, go!", captures the idiomatic sense of an event beginning, which is highly relevant to a "game starting."

Let's compare 9 and 1.
Sense 1: Focuses on the action/steps taken (e.g., starting a project).
Sense 9: Focuses on the general commencement/transition to action (e.g., starting a race/game).

Since the context is "the game to start," Sense 9 (begin or set in motion, synonyms: go, get going) is the most natural and idiomatic fit for the beginning of a game.

I will choose sense 9.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=feel%2:37:00:: | definition=undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind | synonyms=experience | (Emotional/mental state - unlikely for a physical tremor)
2. sense_key=feel%2:31:00:: | definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | synonyms=find | (Belief/intuition - unlikely for a physical tremor)
3. sense_key=feel%2:39:00:: | definition=perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles | synonyms=sense | (Physical perception - highly relevant. Tremors are felt physically.)
4. sense_key=feel%2:29:00:: | definition=be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state | (State of being - less specific than sensing a physical event.)
5. sense_key=feel%2:31:01:: | definition=have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude | (Self-perception in social context - irrelevant.)

13. sense_key=feel%2:35:11:: | definition=pass one's hands over the sexual organs of | (Sexual context - irrelevant.)

The context describes the physical sensation of an earthquake ("temblor").
Sense 3: "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles" matches perfectly with feeling a tremor.

Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.

Target word: begin
Contextual meaning: The tremor started/commenced.

Candidate senses analysis:
1. sense_key=begin%2:30:00:: | definition=take the first step or steps in carrying out an action | synonyms=get down, get, start out, start, set about, set out | (Action initiation - less suitable for a natural phenomenon like a tremor)
2. sense_key=begin%2:42:00:: | definition=have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense | synonyms=start | (General start/beginning - plausible, but maybe too broad)
3. sense_key=begin%2:30:01:: | definition=set in motion, cause to start | synonyms=lead off, start, commence | (Causing something to start - the tremor started on its own, not caused by the speaker/subject, but 'set in motion' fits the action of the tremor starting.)
4. sense_key=begin%2:32:03:: | definition=begin to speak or say; he began | (Speaking - irrelevant)
5. sense_key=begin%2:42:02:: | definition=be the first item or point, constitute the beginning or start, come first in a series | (Order/sequence - irrelevant)
6. sense_key=begin%2:42:04:: | definition=have a beginning, of a temporal event | synonyms=start | (Temporal start - very strong candidate. The tremor started.)
7. sense_key=begin%2:42:03:: | definition=have a beginning characterized in some specified way | synonyms=start | (Specific type of start - less precise than general temporal start)
8. sense_key=begin%2:41:04:: | definition=begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object | (Specific object initiation - irrelevant)
9. sense_key=begin%2:41:00:: | definition=achieve or accomplish in the least degree, usually used in the negative | (To start/achieve minimally - irrelevant)
10. sense_key=begin%2:32:04:: | definition=begin to speak, understand, read, and write a language | (Language learning - irrelevant)

Comparing 3 and 6:
Sense 3: set in motion, cause to start. (Focuses on causation)
Sense 6: have a beginning, of a temporal event. (Focuses on the temporal occurrence of the start)

The tremor *began*. This is a temporal event starting. Sense 6 ("have a beginning, of a temporal event") is the most precise fit for a natural phenomenon like a tremor starting.

Let's re-examine Sense 3: "set in motion, cause to start." While a tremor is a physical process, the usage here is simply stating that the process started. Sense 6 captures the temporal nature of the event starting more accurately than Sense 3, which often implies an agent initiating the action.

Therefore, Sense 6 is the best fit.

Context: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together."

2. sense_key=glance%2:38:00:: | definition=hit at an angle

Analysis:
The action described is "glanced at the table next to mine". This clearly indicates looking at something briefly.

Sense 1: "throw a glance at; take a brief look at". This matches the action of looking at the table. Synonyms (peek) and examples support this meaning.
Sense 2: "hit at an angle". This is a physical impact meaning, which does not fit the context of looking at a table during an earthquake.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the correct sense.

6. sense_key=table%1:13:01:: | definition=food or meals in general | synonyms=board | examples=she sets a fine table; room and board (Meals)

Analysis:
The context describes a person in a "watering hole" (likely a bar or restaurant) waiting for a game. When the tremor starts, the person glances at the "table next to mine."

1. Data structure: Unlikely in this physical setting.
2. Furniture: Plausible. A table is a piece of furniture.
3. Dining setting/Furniture: Plausible. It is a piece of furniture, often associated with dining/games in a restaurant setting.
4. Geographical feature: Highly unlikely in a watering hole.
5. Group of people: Unlikely. The person is looking at *the* table next to them, suggesting a physical object, not a group of people.
6. Food/Meals: Unlikely. The person is looking at the object itself, not the food on it (though it could be related, the object is the focus).

Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
Sense 2: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top..." (General furniture definition).
Sense 3: "a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it" (Specific furniture definition, often implying dining/restaurant context).

Since the context is a "watering hole" where people wait for a "game to start," the table is likely a piece of furniture used for dining or playing games. Both Sense 2 and Sense 3 fit the physical object. However, Sense 3 is more specific and aligns well with the typical environment of a "watering hole" (restaurant/bar) where tables are set up for activities like dining or games.

Let's re-examine the examples:
Sense 2 example: "it was a sturdy table" (General description).
Sense 3 example: "I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant" (Contextual usage in a dining establishment).

Given the setting ("watering hole") and the activity ("waiting for the game to start"), Sense 3 (a piece of furniture used for dining/games) is the most precise fit, although Sense 2 is also technically correct as a superset. I will choose Sense 3 as it captures the functional context implied by the location.

Final check: The word refers to a physical object in a restaurant/bar setting. Sense 3 is the best fit.

Target word: next

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=next%5:00:00:succeeding:00 | definition=immediately following in time or order | synonyms=following | examples=the following day; next in line (Temporal/Sequential)
2. sense_key=next%5:00:00:close:01 | definition=nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space | synonyms=adjacent, side by side | examples=had adjacent rooms; in the next room (Spatial/Positional)
3. sense_key=next%5:00:00:incoming:00 | definition=(of elected officers) elected but not yet serving | synonyms=future, succeeding | examples=our next president (Future/Succession)

Analysis of the context:
The phrase is "the table next to mine".
The word "next" is modifying "table" and describing its location relative to "mine".
"next to" is a common prepositional phrase indicating proximity or adjacency.

Evaluating the senses:
1. Succeeding (Temporal/Sequential): Does "next" here mean following in time or order? No. The table is physically located near the speaker's table.
2. Close (Spatial/Positional): Does "next" here mean nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining? Yes. "next to mine" means adjacent to mine.
3. Incoming (Future/Succession): Does "next" here refer to a future person or event? No.

Conclusion: Sense 2, which relates to spatial proximity ("nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining"), is the correct sense.

Context: "I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that <t>guilty</t> smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together."

Target word: guilty
Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=guilty%3:00:00:: | definition=responsible for or chargeable with a reprehensible act | examples=guilty of murder; the guilty person (Relates to culpability/blame)
2. sense_key=guilty%5:00:00:ashamed:00 | definition=showing a sense of guilt; ; - Eric Linklater | synonyms=hangdog, shamefaced, shamed | examples=a guilty look; the hangdog and shamefaced air of the retreating enemy (Relates to appearance/emotion)

Analysis:
The word "guilty" is used as an adjective modifying "smile" ("that guilty smile").
The context describes an earthquake happening. The speaker and the person at the table are reacting to the earthquake.
The phrase "guilty smile" suggests a specific kind of expression.

Let's evaluate the senses:
Sense 1 (responsible for a reprehensible act): If the smile were "guilty" in this sense, it would imply the person was secretly responsible for the earthquake or some other bad act, which is highly unlikely and not supported by the context (they are reacting to a natural event).
Sense 2 (showing a sense of guilt; ashamed): This sense relates to the *appearance* of shame or embarrassment. A "guilty smile" often implies a knowing, perhaps slightly mischievous, or sheepish expression, which fits the idea of showing a sense of guilt or shame.

Conclusion: The usage "guilty smile" strongly aligns with Sense 2, where "guilty" describes the *manner* or *appearance* of the smile (i.e., it looks like a smile of shame or secret knowledge).

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

The target lemma is "mouth".

The context is: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake! "together."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=mouth%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=talk, speak, utter, verbalize, verbalise | examples=She talks a lot of nonsense; This depressed patient does not verbalize

3. sense_key=mouth%2:35:00:: | definition=touch with the mouth

Analysis of the context:
The characters are reacting to an earthquake ("Earth-quake!"). They are communicating this warning. The phrase is "we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!' together."

Evaluation of senses:
1. sense_key=mouth%2:32:00 (express in speech): This is possible, as they are expressing words. However, the context often implies a non-verbal or quiet action when "mouthed" is used, especially in dramatic or tense situations (like an earthquake).
2. sense_key=mouth%2:32:01 (articulate silently; form words with the lips only): This fits the common usage of "mouthed" when people are unable or unwilling to speak aloud, but still conveying the message visually. Given the suddenness of the earthquake and the focus on the visual act of conveying the warning, this sense is highly probable. The example "She mouthed a swear word" supports this silent articulation.
3. sense_key=mouth%2:35:00 (touch with the mouth): This is irrelevant to the context of communicating a warning.

Comparison between Sense 1 and Sense 2:
If they "mouthed" the words, it usually implies they did so without speaking them aloud (i.e., silently forming the words with their lips). While Sense 1 (express in speech) is related, Sense 2 (articulate silently) is the specific, idiomatic meaning of "mouthed" in this context, especially when used to describe a shared, non-audible communication of a phrase.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target surface form "words" in the given context.

Context: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the <t>words</t>, "Earth-quake! "together. That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass."

Target word: "words" (plural of "word").

Let's analyze the context usage:
The characters are mouthing the "words," which are "Earth-quake!". This indicates that "words" here refers to spoken utterances or phrases used to communicate a specific message.

Now let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=word%1:10:00:: | definition=a unit of language that native speakers can identify | examples=words are the blocks from which sentences are made; he hardly said ten words all morning
    * This is the general linguistic definition. "Earth-quake!" is a unit of language. This is a strong candidate.

2. sense_key=word%1:10:03:: | definition=a brief statement | examples=he didn't say a word about it
    * "Earth-quake!" is a brief statement. This is also a strong candidate, perhaps more specific than sense 1.

3. sense_key=word%1:10:02:: | definition=information about recent and important events | synonyms=news, intelligence, tidings | examples=they awaited news of the outcome
    * The words *are* the statement "Earth-quake!", not the information *about* the event (though they convey it). This sense is about news/reports, not the utterance itself. Less likely.

4. sense_key=word%1:10:06:: | definition=a verbal command for action | examples=when I give the word, charge!
    * "Earth-quake!" is an exclamation/warning, not typically a command for action (like "Charge!"). Less likely.

5. sense_key=word%1:10:04:: | definition=an exchange of views on some topic | synonyms=discussion, give-and-take | examples=we had a good discussion; we had a word or two about it
    * The context describes a shared utterance ("we both mouthed... together"), not a discussion or exchange of views. Incorrect.

6. sense_key=word%1:10:01:: | definition=a promise | synonyms=parole, word of honor | examples=he gave his word
    * Not a promise. Incorrect.

7. sense_key=word%1:23:00:: | definition=a word is a string of bits stored in computer memory | examples=large computers use words up to 64 bits long
    * Irrelevant (computing). Incorrect.

8. sense_key=word%1:18:00:: | definition=the divine word of God; the second person in the Trinity (incarnate in Jesus) | synonyms=Son, Logos
    * Irrelevant (theological). Incorrect.

9. sense_key=word%1:10:05:: | definition=a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group | synonyms=password, watchword, parole, countersign | examples=he forgot the password
    * Not a secret code word. Incorrect.

10. sense_key=word%1:10:07:: | definition=the sacred writings of the Christian religions | synonyms=Bible, Christian Bible, Book, Good Book, Holy Scripture, Holy Writ | examples=he went to carry the Word to the heathen
    * Not religious scripture. Incorrect.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1: "a unit of language that native speakers can identify" (General linguistic unit).
Sense 2: "a brief statement" (Specific function of the unit).

Since the context is "we both mouthed the words, 'Earth-quake!' together," the function of these words is to form a short, immediate communication—a brief statement or exclamation. Sense 2 captures this communicative function more precisely than the general definition in Sense 1.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

Context: "I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start. I felt the temblor begin and glanced at the table next to mine, smiled that guilty smile and we both mouthed the words, "Earth-quake"! "together. That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to pass."

Target word: "Earth-quake"

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=earthquake%1:11:00:: | definition=shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity | synonyms=quake, temblor, seism
2. sense_key=earthquake%1:26:00:: | definition=a disturbance that is extremely disruptive | examples=selling the company caused an earthquake among the employees

Analysis:
The context mentions "I felt the temblor begin" and later refers to "temblors to pass." The word "Earth-quake" is mouthed in response to these physical tremors.

Sense 1 definition: "shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity." Synonyms include "quake" and "temblor."
Sense 2 definition: "a disturbance that is extremely disruptive." This is a metaphorical sense (e.g., a market earthquake).

The context clearly describes a physical event ("temblor," "temblors to pass") that causes shaking. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor. 11:59 p.m. JKD: I was in my favorite watering hole, waiting for the game to start.

That's usually how long it takes for the temblors to <t>pass</t>. This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed.

This time, it just got stronger and then the building started shaking violently up and down as though it were a child's toy block that was being tossed."

Target word: "pass"

Comparing the best candidates:
Sense 4 (pass by): definition=pass by; synonyms=elapse, lapse, slip by, glide by, slip away, go by. Example: "three years elapsed." This perfectly captures the idea of a duration ending or an event subsiding.
Sense 13 (disappear gradually): definition=disappear gradually; synonyms=evanesce, fade, blow over, pass off, fleet. This also fits the idea of a tremor subsiding.

In the context of natural phenomena like tremors or storms, "pass" often means to subside or elapse. Sense 4, with synonyms like "elapse" and "go by," is the most idiomatic and direct fit for describing the duration of a natural event before it ceases.

I choose Sense 4.
