RUN This short word has the longest entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, which is one of the most comprehensive lexical resources ever created. When you include idiomatic senses and phrases, there are 645 senses for the verb alone. After all, ‘running to the shop’ is very different to ‘running the shop’. The whole entry is as long as a decent novel. ‘Run’ is one of a small handful of words with very diverse senses. Two others commonly noted are ‘set’ and ‘make’. All three have held ‘the longest entry’ record at various points, and are all words with long histories in English. by Lauren Gawne (superlinguo.com) ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD (ED#457) ACROSS 1.
