Well actually no, I only got 7/8 and didn't have the capitalization correct. But I appreciate your support, not only in tone but also in source material

Struggling to see it really making sense as a sentence with more than 5. Reading the example doesn't really seem like a proper sentence either. Replacing buffalo with the 3 different meanings of the word for the full sentence doesn't really seem like a sentence. "Bison intimidate intimidate bison" specifically, why is intimidate repeated? Also why the extra "Buffalonian bison" at the start.

[(Buffalonian bison) (Buffalonian bison intimidate)] intimidate (Buffalonian bison).

At least this easily makes sense - Buffalonian bison intimidate Buffalonian bison, but that just gives you buffalo repeated 5 times.

It helps somewhat to replace “Buffalonian buffalo” with “people”:

People (that other) people intimidate, intimidate (other) people.
