Actually Go 1 would need to be split into each meaning. (Go (bodily 
function), Go (movement), Go (turn)...) One for each entry in a good 
dictionary -- assuming that you will want to use the data in some manner.

But sometimes it's better to work backwards. What outputs do you want?  How 
do you expect to use this data?

If you could hide tags, what tags would you hide?

Hmm. Will your polysynthetic language have a single word that indicates all 
those things? Are these words you will be constructing? Or are you trying 
to classify existing words?

Good luck!
