Investigating the verb la-mut 'to die' in Hebrew, one observes that, depending on the context, it has a secondary meaning ranging from 'want' to ' love'. It will be argued here that the different readings of the verb stem from a regularity in Hebrew according to which some verbs may change their interpretation in a predictable way.
