And I contend that.

If the confusion arises between two words which pertain to different
paradigm for instance :

QUANTITY = { all, some, many... } and BIRD = { owl, pigeon, crow... }

then it is easy to disambiguate "all" from "owl" because the "???"
(which is = all or = owl) is a quantity or a bird in context, but most
rarely both.

But when the two confusionable words come from the same paradigm-set

QUANTITY = { so'a, so'e, so'i... }

the confusion is VERY harmful
