    Struggling to see it really making sense as a sentence with more than 5. Reading the example doesn’t really seem like a proper sentence either. Replacing buffalo with the 3 different meanings of the word for the full sentence doesn’t really seem like a sentence. “Bison intimidate intimidate bison” specifically, why is intimidate repeated? Also why the extra “Buffalonian bison” at the start.

    [(Buffalonian bison) (Buffalonian bison intimidate)] intimidate (Buffalonian bison).

    At least this easily makes sense - Buffalonian bison intimidate Buffalonian bison, but that just gives you buffalo repeated 5 times.
