3-Part Word 1

[chessbot]

To continue ESquared's "Can you understand English? A ten-word sentence of one word repeated.", can anyone come up with another word that is a verb, a noun, and an adjective?

I am aware that this may be more appropriate in the Making an Impression forum, so just tell me and it's on its way!

"In that blessed region of Four Dimensions, shall we linger on the threshold of the Fifth, and not enter therein? Ah, no! [...] Then, yielding to our intellectual onset, the gates of the Sixth Dimension shall fly open; after that a Seventh, and then an Eighth -- --" Flatland, A. Square (E. A. Abbott)

I'll bet there are many, but one that comes to mind as I walk out the door with my grandson, taking him to a fish dinner, appropriately enough, is:

n. reel: a small windlass at the butt of a fishing rod for the line

v. reel: to wind on or as if on a reel.

adj. reel: describing a reeling action, as in a "reel lawn mower".

And the next part:
Does "Reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel reel" make sense?
