The Simplest Words Can Be Multi-Talented

Why use big words when the small ones have enough meanings to keep us going?
This beautiful video from RADIOLAB takes us through nine words and illustrates some of their everyday usage. All variations of each word are spelt the same except break/brake.





There's a melt between words as a new word is introduced. 
Clever. 
It took me a few viewings, and a quick scroll through the helpful comments below the video, to get it but you may get it in one! 
The English language, aren't the short words illustrative enough?
