Target lemma: little
Target surface form: little
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.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "little" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> "He was sitting in the usual corner at the **little** table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "little table" refers to a table that is physically small in size, fitting into a corner and being distinct from larger, more talkative areas.
- The surrounding context emphasizes the physical arrangement ("usual corner," "as far as possible"), suggesting a focus on the table's size rather than its importance, youth, or any emotional connotation.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1 (little:00:01::)**: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" with synonym "small." This aligns well with the physical description of a small table.
2. **Sense 2 (little:00:03::)**: Refers to a small quantity or degree, which does not fit the physical description of a table.
3. **Sense 3 (little:5:00:00:young:00)**: Pertains to youth, which is irrelevant here.
4. **Sense 4 (little:5:00:00:unimportant:00)**: Suggests something of little importance, which does not match the description of a table's size.
5. **Sense 5 (little:5:00:00:soft:04)**: Refers to a faint voice, unrelated to a table.
6. **Sense 6 (little:3:00:00::)**: "low in stature; not tall," which could describe a person, not a table.
7. **Sense 7 (little:5:00:00:lowercase:00)**: Concerns lowercase letters, irrelevant here.
8. **Sense 8 (little:5:00:00:emotional:00)**: Suggests an emotional connotation, which does not apply to a table.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly describes the physical size of a table, making **Sense 1** the most appropriate choice.

**Final Answer:**
```json

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "talkative" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text and the candidate senses:

**Context Analysis:**
- The sentence: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any **talkative**, friendly lushes."
- The phrase "as far as possible from any **talkative**, friendly lushes" suggests that Haney is avoiding people who are both talkative and friendly. The emphasis is on the talkativeness as a characteristic that Haney wishes to avoid, combined with the adjective "friendly."

**Candidate Senses Evaluation:**
1. **Voluble (sense_key=talkative%5:00:00:voluble:00):** Definition: full of trivial conversation. Synonyms: chatty, gabby, garrulous, loquacious, talky. Example: "kept from her housework by gabby neighbors." This sense aligns with the idea of being overly talkative, especially in a trivial or excessive manner, which matches the context of avoiding "talkative" individuals.

2. **Indiscreet (sense_key=talkative%5:00:00:indiscreet:00):** Definition: unwisely talking too much. Synonyms: bigmouthed, blabbermouthed, blabby. This sense focuses on the negative aspect of talking too much without regard for discretion, which is not the primary focus of the context. The context does not mention any lack of discretion or harmful talk, just a preference to avoid talkative people.

3. **Communicative (sense_key=talkative%5:00:00:communicative:00):** Definition: friendly and open and willing to talk. Synonyms: expansive. Example: "wine made the guest expansive." This sense emphasizes a positive, open, and friendly willingness to converse, which contradicts the context where Haney is actively avoiding such individuals.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly indicates that Haney is avoiding people who are excessively talkative, likely in a trivial or bothersome way, to maintain his solitude. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing someone who is full of trivial conversation.

**Selected Sense:**
- **Voluble** (sense 1)

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "as far as possible from any talkative, **friendly** lushes" suggests that Haney is avoiding people who are talkative and pleasant or sociable.
- The word "friendly" here is used to describe individuals who are sociable and likely to engage in conversation, which aligns with the idea of being talkative and approachable.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1:** "Characteristic of or befitting a friend" (e.g., friendly advice, friendly neighborhood) – This sense fits the context as it describes people who are sociable and approachable, matching the description of "talkative, friendly lushes."
2. **Sense 2:** "Inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile" (e.g., government friendly to our interests) – This sense pertains more to attitudes or policies rather than describing people's sociability, making it less suitable.
3. **Sense 3:** "Easy to understand or use" (e.g., user-friendly computers) – This sense is unrelated to the context of people's behavior.
4. **Sense 4:** "Of or belonging to your own country's forces or those of an ally" (e.g., friendly territory) – This sense is military-related and does not apply to the context of social interactions.

**Conclusion:**
The best sense for "friendly" in this context is **Sense 1**, which describes people who are sociable and approachable, fitting the description of "talkative, friendly lushes."

Therefore, the correct sense index is 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "enjoying" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

> "He was **enjoying** the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "enjoying the weekly ritual" suggests that the subject is deriving pleasure or satisfaction from the activity.
- The activity involves "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon," indicating a personal, pleasurable engagement with the ritual.
- The context implies a personal, subjective experience of pleasure rather than a general benefit or privilege.

**Synonym and Example Matching:**
- **Synonyms** for sense 1 (derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from) include "bask," "relish," "savor," and "savour."
- **Example** from sense 1: "She relished her fame and basked in her glory," which parallels the idea of deriving pleasure from a situation.
- **Synonyms** for sense 2 (have benefit from) include none directly related to personal pleasure.
- **Synonym** for sense 3 (get pleasure from) is "love," but the context is more about a habitual pleasure rather than a deep affection.
- **Synonyms** for sense 4 (have for one's benefit) and sense 5 (take delight in) are less fitting because they either imply a broader benefit or a more overt delight, which doesn't capture the subtle, habitual enjoyment described.

**Conclusion:**
The context best aligns with the definition of **derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from**, as it describes a personal, habitual pleasure in a ritual. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is **sense 1**.

raw_output:
The context describes Haney "enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water." This clearly refers to consuming food or drink accompanied by a liquid, metaphorically used to "wash down" his grievance, similar to the examples provided ("She washed down her dinner with a bottle of red wine"). The second sense, which relates to flowing freely (e.g., a body washing down a river), does not fit the metaphorical, consumptive context. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing eating food with liquid or using the metaphor.

The correct sense index is 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "water" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence:

> "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with **water**."

The phrase "washing down with ... water" suggests that the water is being used as a liquid to mix with or accompany the bourbon, likely to dilute or rinse it. This usage aligns with the idea of water as a clear, colorless liquid that can be mixed with other substances.

Now, let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent**
   - This matches the description of water as a liquid used to mix with bourbon.

2. **The part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean)**
   - This sense refers to geographical bodies of water, which does not fit the context of mixing with bourbon.

3. **Once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles)**
   - This historical philosophical sense is irrelevant to the immediate context.

4. **A facility that provides a source of water**
   - This sense pertains to infrastructure, not to the act of mixing with bourbon.

5. **Liquid excretory product**
   - This sense refers to urine, which is clearly not the intended meaning here.

6. **A liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants**
   - While true, this broader biological sense does not specifically address the mixing context.

The context clearly indicates that "water" is being used as a liquid to accompany bourbon, which aligns with sense 1. Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}

Context:
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 enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This <t>favorite</t> grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him.

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

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context describes "this favorite grievance," indicating that the grievance is one he particularly holds dear or prefers over others. This aligns with the sense of being "preferred above all others and treated with partiality." Therefore, the best sense is the one defined as "preferred above all others and treated with partiality," which corresponds to the second candidate sense.

Thus, the appropriate sense index is 2.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for the word "mentioned" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"He had already quite forgotten about him. In fact, he had only <t>mentioned</t> him on the spur of the moment."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "had only mentioned him" suggests a brief or incidental reference to someone ("him") that occurred suddenly ("on the spur of the moment").
- The speaker emphasizes that this reference was minimal and not a significant part of the discussion, contrasting with the speaker's primary grievance ("His real grievance was Lolly").

**Synonym and Example Analysis:**
1. **Sense 1: make reference to** (synonyms: advert, bring up, cite, name, refer)
   - Example: "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention."
   - This sense aligns with the idea of a brief, incidental reference, fitting the context of "only mentioned him on the spur of the moment."

2. **Sense 2: make mention of** (synonyms: note, observe, remark)
   - Example: "She observed that his presentation took up too much time."
   - This sense implies a more deliberate or formal acknowledgment, which is less fitting for the casual, momentary reference described.

3. **Sense 3: commend** (synonyms: cite)
   - Example: "he was cited for his outstanding achievements."
   - This sense involves praising or honoring someone, which does not match the context of a fleeting, incidental reference.

**Conclusion:**
The context best matches **Sense 1: make reference to**, as it captures the idea of a brief, incidental mention made suddenly, without deeper significance.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "real" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"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."

The word "real" here is used to specify the genuine or true grievance, contrasting it with a less significant or mentioned grievance (the landlord). The context implies that "real" is emphasizing the authentic, essential nature of the grievance against Lolly.

Examining the candidate senses:

1. **existent** (real objects, real people): Refers to something having verified existence, but does not capture the nuance of "true" or "genuine" in this context.
2. **no less than what is stated; worthy of the name** (the real reason): Suggests something that matches the description precisely, but the context is about a grievance, not a reason.
3. **not to be taken lightly** (very real problems): Implies seriousness or importance, but the sentence is about identifying the genuine grievance, not its seriousness.
4. **capable of being treated as fact** (tangible evidence): Refers to something that can be treated as factual, but does not convey the sense of "true" or "genuine" grievance.
5. **being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something** (actual, genuine, literal): Directly matches the use of "real" to denote the genuine, essential grievance against Lolly.
6. **of, relating to, or representing an amount corrected for inflation**: Irrelevant to the context of a grievance.
7. **having substance or capable of being treated as fact** (substantial, material): Similar to sense 4, but still does not capture the essence of "true" grievance.
8. **(of property) fixed or immovable** (real property): Irrelevant to the context.
9. **coinciding with reality** (veridical perception): While close, it pertains more to perception than to the essential nature of a grievance.

The most fitting sense is **sense_key=real%5:00:00:true:00**, which defines "real" as being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something, aligning perfectly with the use of "real grievance" to denote the true grievance against Lolly.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

The context describes a personal resentment toward someone named Lolly, which the character uses to justify his emotional state and actions. The phrase "real grievance" indicates a personal complaint or resentment rather than a legal or formal allegation. The synonyms "grudge" and "score" align with a personal resentment strong enough to motivate retaliation, fitting the definition of a personal grievance. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing a personal complaint or resentment.

The appropriate sense is:

**Definition:** a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action.

**Sense index:** 3

The sentence describes the man "moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass." This indicates an action of causing or producing something (wet rings) by using the glass. The most fitting sense is one where "make" means to cause to happen or occur, not necessarily intentionally. Among the candidate senses, sense_key=make%2:36:08:: ("give certain properties to something; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally") best captures this meaning, as it involves creating a result (wet rings) through an action (using the glass).

Therefore, the best indexed sense is sense_index 3.

The context describes a man making "wet rings on the table-top with the **bottom** of the glass." This clearly refers to the lower side or underside of the glass that contacts the table, not its lowest part, a body part, a sports term, a geographical feature, a type of ship, or a low-lying land area.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "looked" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"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."

The key elements here are:
- The action involves directing one's gaze upward.
- The phrase "looked up" directly indicates the act of perceiving something by directing one's eyes.
- The context describes a moment of awareness, where the character becomes aware of another person's presence.

Now, let's match this to the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=look%2:39:00::** - "perceive with attention; direct one's gaze towards"
   - This matches perfectly with "looked up," as it involves directing one's gaze and perceiving something attentively.

2. **sense_key=look%2:39:01::** - "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect"
   - This sense is about appearance or impression, which does not fit the context of actively perceiving someone.

3. **sense_key=look%2:29:00::** - "have a certain outward or facial expression"
   - This sense focuses on facial expressions, not on the act of looking or perceiving.

4. **sense_key=look%2:39:02::** - "search or seek"
   - This sense implies a searching action, which is not the primary focus here.

5. **sense_key=look%2:42:00::** - "be oriented in a certain direction"
   - This sense is more about orientation than the act of perceiving.

6. **sense_key=look%2:41:13::** - "take charge of or deal with"
   - This sense is unrelated to the act of looking.

7. **sense_key=look%2:32:00::** - "convey by one's expression"
   - This sense involves conveying through expression, not perceiving.

8. **sense_key=look%2:31:00::** - "look forward to the probable occurrence of"
   - This sense is about anticipation, not the act of looking in the moment.

9. **sense_key=look%2:42:02::** - "accord in appearance with"
   - This sense is about matching appearance, not perceiving.

10. **sense_key=look%2:31:02::** - "have faith or confidence in"
    - This sense is about trust, not perceiving.

The context clearly involves the character directing his gaze upward to perceive the stranger, aligning with **sense_key=look%2:39:00::**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

The context describes a man who is surprised to find an unfamiliar person sitting across from him in a bar setting, after having been lost in thought.

The description "as if they were fellow conspirators" further emphasizes the idea that this person is unknown to him, rather than merely being an outsider in the environment.

Given the context and the synonyms (alien, unknown), the most appropriate sense is that the stranger is an individual the protagonist is not acquainted with.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "sitting" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down."

The key elements are:
- The stranger is already present at the table.
- The protagonist only becomes aware of the stranger's presence at this moment.
- The phrase "he hadn't seen him sit down" indicates that the stranger was already seated when the protagonist noticed.

Now, let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **be seated** (sense_key=sit%2:35:00::) - This sense refers to the act of taking a seat or being in a seated position. It matches the idea that the stranger was already seated when noticed.
2. **be around, often idly or without specific purpose** (sense_key=sit%2:42:00::) - This sense implies an idle presence, which doesn't fit the context of a specific seating action.
3. **take a seat** (sense_key=sit%2:38:00::) - Similar to sense 1, but more about the action of sitting down, which is not the focus here since the stranger was already seated.
4. **be in session** (sense_key=sit%2:38:01::) - Refers to a formal gathering or meeting, which is unrelated.
5. **assume a posture as for artistic purposes** (sense_key=sit%2:39:00::) - Pertains to posing for art, not relevant.
6. **sit and travel on the back of an animal** (sense_key=sit%2:38:03::) - Clearly unrelated.
7. **be located or situated somewhere** (sense_key=sit%2:42:05::) - While it mentions location, it doesn't specifically address the act of seating.
8. **work or act as a baby-sitter** (sense_key=sit%2:41:05::) - Irrelevant to the context.
9. **show to a seat; assign a seat** (sense_key=sit%2:35:01::) - Implies assigning a seat, which doesn't match the passive presence described.
10. **serve in a specific professional capacity** (sense_key=sit%2:33:00::) - Unrelated to seating.

The context clearly indicates that the stranger was already seated, and the protagonist only became aware of this fact. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is **be seated**.

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense 1, which corresponds to index 3 in the list of candidate senses.

**Answer:**
```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

Target lemma: table
Target surface form: table
Context:
This favorite grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him. In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the <t>table</t>, 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=table%1:14:00:: | definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | synonyms=tabular array | examples=see table 1
2. sense_key=table%1:06:01:: | definition=a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs | examples=it was a sturdy table
3. sense_key=table%1:06:02:: | definition=a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it | examples=I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant
4. sense_key=table%1:17:00:: | definition=flat tableland with steep edges | synonyms=mesa | examples=the tribe was relatively safe on the mesa but they had to descend into the valley for water
5. sense_key=table%1:14:01:: | definition=a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game | examples=he entertained the whole table with his witty remarks
6. sense_key=table%1:13:01:: | definition=food or meals in general | synonyms=board | examples=she sets a fine table; room and board

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context describes a man looking up from "wet rings on the table-top" while sitting in a bar, and seeing a stranger "sitting across the <t>table</t>". This clearly refers to a piece of furniture with a flat surface used for placing items, such as drinks and possibly a conversation, in a social setting. The most fitting definition among the candidates is:

- **sense_key=table%1:06:01::**: a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the second one.

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
