English is not the only language with homonyms.
In French if something isn't functioning properly you say that "il ne marche pas." Now, in my studies, "marche" means "walk." So to me that says "it doesn't walk." I asked a native speaker about that and they told me, no, that is not what that means.
It's like saying your fridge is not running.
Then you... better go... catch it... em... oh... Hangs Up
Noses run, feet smell. Everybody knows that.

I’ve been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Du coup.

Same in German. "Es geht nicht."
I'm English Canadian with a lot of French Canadian family and friends ... I don't speak French but I've been around it all my life .. here's one for you ...
Le ver vert va vers le verre vert
And back to English: Aaron earned an iron urn
Easy!
The green worm goes towards the green glass 😌👌
Same in Romanian. "Nu merge".
You’re a homonym.
English should just adopt hanzi. All problems solved.
