A IWiktionarySense represents one word sense of a lexical entry (also called a lexical unit). Each IWiktionarySense belongs to exactly one IWiktionaryEntry. Note that IWiktionaryEntry.getUnassignedSense() returns a dummy word sense carrying all information that has not been assigned to a particular sense - for this case, the IWiktionarySense does not model an actual word sense,
