Dear Ian,

Among others, there's also partial colexification (see, e.g., List 2003
"Inference of partial colexifications from multilingual wordlists" and
references within) and loose colexification (see, e.g., Francois 2008
"Semantic maps and the typology of colexification"). There are some fine
differences in the use of these terms but they are both used to talk about
a partial but not complete sharing of forms. This, most of the time, means
two forms that have (some but not all) morphemes in common.

Best, Thomas
