I would like to suggest the word COB . I have so far found seventeen nouns and two verbs to which this simple little three letter word attaches. To wit :-
A male swan ; a short stout horse; a great man; a hazel nut; a round topped loaf of bread; a round piece of coal; a testicle; an apple dumpling; a small haystack; a head of wheat or corn; a Greater Black backed Gull; a fit of annoyance; a knock or blow; a basket carried on the arm; a mole or pier ; a conglomerate of sand and clay; a Spanish dollar ; verb to strike as with a blow; and verb to 'take a liking to' somebody. (Courtesy on-line O.E.D.)
I don't know if there are more meanings than this, but for such a wee word it sure has a busy repertoire ! .
