"'''Polysemants'''" (Bemé: ''polisemang'', {{bm-ipa|polisemaŋ}}; not to be confused with | "'''Polysemants'''" (Bemé: ''polisemang'', {{bm-ipa|polisemaŋ}}; not to be confused with {{l|beme|polisimang}} "police officer") in Bemé refer to various common lemmas in the Bemé language whose morphological categorisation are vague due to their wide uses and applications; thus, they are broadly categorised as "polysemants", literally meaning "words with various meanings". The most common polysemant by far is ''{{bm|eh}}''. The etymology of most polysemants are unknown; however, one exception is ''{{bm|bela}}'', which comes from [[Ketaserang]] ''beela'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈbɛːlɐ]]] "I agree". | ||
