or, my favorite, in German "umfahren"

can either mean "drive around"

or "run over"

In writing, yes. But when spoken the emphasis is different. If the "fahren" is stressed, then you are driving around something (umFAHren). If the "um" is stressed (UMfahren), then you are talking about property damage or murder.
