=SDC= Q20: Triple again



Please give a word of four or more letters that has different meanings
in each of three languages (the way "Gift" means different things in
English and German). I'm referring to the written form of the word.
No transliterations or romanizations. No non-standard spellings. Any
diacritical marks, apostrophes, etc., must be the same in all three,
but differences in initial capitalization are allowed. Bonus
Herdwicks for words longer than four letters, and once a solution is
given, you can still get sheep by giving an answer longer than the
previous one posted. Serious bonus sheep for four or more languages.
Got that?
