Word Senses in This Band

Captions available

The idea

Shifted senses are rarest here, because the language is closest to ours. Unit three's procedure still applies to any word the sentence resists, but a candidate should expect fewer traps of that kind and more of the kind that turn on tone.

In practice

Fewer shifted senses, more tone.

Where people slip

The trap moves rather than vanishing.
