'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

[Cobra]

( sorry Led Zep :thumbs:)
I got to thinking here are a few Falconry terms for the same word
( I know there are other meanings but this is specifically falconry terms)
can anyone beat the amount of meanings for a different word within the criteria / hobby etc :shrug:

Cast to regurgitate
Casting the "pellet" - (a slight cheat)
To Cast propel from the fist
A Cast 2 or more hawks flown together
To Cast restrain

You can tell I am bored :D

So you got to think up falconry terms or any old hobby??

No just words that have more than 5 meanings ( as I set the trend :D) but must be a related subject and a genuine word and definitions)
I doubt its gonna happen but never say never :thumbs:
BTW the examples are all genuine falconry terms and not made up
