    There’s more shenanigans with “umfahren” and “umfahren”, where Intonation matters. One means “drive around”, the other “run over”.

      Also one is a strong and one is a weak verb, meaning that in certain cases, one will be split apart:

      Ich umfahre jemanden: I drive around someone.

      Ich fahre jemanden um: I run someone over.
