What I said is that words that have so many senses are not useful primitives for defining other terms in an ontology.

Note that Anna Wierzbicka uses primitives to define words, but she assumes just one meaning per primitive.

It is possible that one might use the character string 'run' to identify a primitive type, but that string would not be the same as the English word with the same spelling.
