Find related words
The word taelo in Sepedi is related to

tagafalo
molao
tlhalošo

words = set()
synsets = wn.synsets('taelo',lang=('nso'))
for synset in synsets: # synset is in english
for hypo in synset.hyponyms():
for lemma in hypo.lemmas("nso"):
words.add(lemma.name())
print('taelo', '---', words)

taelo --- {'taelo', 'tagafalo', 'molao', 'tlhalošo'}
