A concrete noun and a verb in the gerund (eg playing)
Plural noun

jackrabbits
Your Royal Highness
A noun (not abstract, nor a name)
A verb
Finally:
The name of a person and

A page from Pride and Prejudice:
IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Oslo in possession of a good paintbrush must be in want of sunlight.
However little crapped the bundles or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the lilacs of the pontificating families, that he is considered as the mellifluous property of some one or other of their stinking jackrabbits.
"Your royal highness" said his slab to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is ate at last?''
