    In the Hmong language, the word ‘paw’ means many things: said as a statement it means “female”; in a high voice, “ball”; a low voice, “thorn”; as a question, “to throw”; creakily, “to see”; in a breathy voice, “paternal grandma”; and in a tone between high and low – “pancreas”.

        So how many words in the whole language if just one has so many distinct meanings?! 57?

        Well, that’s 7 words up there, not one. English looks like it has a lot fewer words if you just don’t bother writing all the sounds, too.
