Language Log: A man and a statue and a codex and a cadaver

Language Log: A man and a statue and a codex and a cadaver: "I mention those of the same origin which are contained in one name, but not one definition, but derive as it were from one source, e.g. when `Tullius' can be understood as a man and a statue and a codex and a cadaver. For these cannot be contained in one definition, but they have one single source, i.e. the real man himself, whose statue, books, cadaver they are."
