I think he's counting the meanings of the word {HoH} as-is, both unprefixed
and null-prefixed meanings. Or at least trying - counting the meanings of a
word is a dubious task at the best of times.
Here's one possible three-out-of-five combination: he kills, she kills, it
kills, they kill, they kill them.
No doubt you can come up with other lists, some of them 3/5, others not.
