  Bruce, 
  This is an excellent suggestion. 
  Currently WN-Lexical is not making use of the word sense number, which encodes frequency information, but not the actual frequency.
  I will update the module in the next couple of weeks to add this functionality. 
  Thanks again for your interest.
  Bruno

    Bruno,

    Thank you for the explanation and code!  I suspected that there was a certain amount of randomness inherent in this system.  But I have a question - there are several definitions for "dog"... but if I ask you to define "dog", you would almost certainly pick:

    (a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds) 
     
    which is the first definition that appears when you search WordNet on-line:

    http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=dog&o2=&o0=1&o7=&o5=&o1=1&o6=&o4=&o3=&h <http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=dog&o2=&o0=1&o7=&o5=&o1=1&o6=&o4=&o3=&h> =

    In fact, the WordNet on-line responses seem to ordered according to the most common meanings first.  I was just wondering if we could get at the definitions ranked according to usage.........  it seems that somehow they do..........

    Bruce.
