The Oxford English Dictionary gives scores of different senses, subsenses, and subsubsenses for "eat" whereas the Hanyu Da Cidian offers about a score of different senses for chi; most of the extended, figurative, and slang usages of chi ("eat") are very recent – within the last century or two.
The paired sense data can be classified as one of four levels of similarity: the Roman-numeralled homograph level (band-I (group) vs band-II (ring)), the major sense level (band-I.1 (music group) vs band-I.2 (other group)), the subsense level (which we arbitrarily use to refer to the distance between a general sense number such as I.1 and its specialization (I.1.2)), and finally the subsubsense level (such as between I.1.1 and I.1.2).[…]In contrast, at the finer subsubsense level only 52 per cent of the given pairs were translated differently.
