  1. Can someone help me to figure out why the output shows only one sense and not other senses of a particular word?
    Eg: wordnet tall -attra shows the output as:

    1 of 4 senses of tall
    Sense 1
    tall (vs. short)
    => stature, height

    Why are the attributes of other senses not shown. Please help me out.
