As a follow-up, I decided to dig up, pull up, turn up, and put up as many words as I could find to use with Up (Table I). I know up front that my list is incomplete and that some readers will be up in arms. They, in turn, will no doubt rise up to upstage me and will up my totals. At any rate, Up seems to have more meanings than any other 2-letter word in our lexicon.

The difference between homonyms and polysemes is subtle. Lexicographers define polysemes within a single dictionary lemma, while homonyms are treated in separate entries, numbering different meanings (or lemmata). Semantic shift can separate a polysemous word into separate homonyms. For example, check as in "bank check" (or Cheque), check in chess, and check meaning "verification" are considered homonyms, while they originated as a single word derived from chess in the 14th century. Psycholinguistic experiments have shown that homonyms and polysemes are represented differently within people's mental lexicon: while the different meanings of homonyms (which are semantically unrelated) tend to interfere or compete with each other during comprehension, this does not usually occur for the polysemes that have semantically related meanings.[8][9][10][11] Results for this contention, however, have been mixed.[12][13][14][15] 2ff7e9595c
