listallwords

[ashwin]

hi
i want ask whether listallwords(part-of-speech) lists all INDIVIDUAL
words (i.e.: all words for each synset) or simply the the "headword"
for each synset?

i'm trying to harvest all meronym pairs from wordnet. my initial
approach to start from the root "thing" and traverse top-down seems
tedious. But listallwords() seems an attractive option

thanks
