Claim: The word "set" has 430 definitions in the Oxford English Dictionary.
BLUF: Confirmed. The OED Second Edition (1989) lists 430 senses for the verb 'set,' with the entry spanning 60,000 words. However, 'set' has since been surpassed by 'run' (645 senses) in the OED Third Edition revisions.
Probability: Very likely (80-95%) | Confidence: High
Correction needed: The 430 figure is from OED2 (1989). The word 'set' no longer holds the record — 'run' surpassed it with 645 senses in 2011.
