strand
When used as a noun to describe hair or thread, "strand" is a countable noun. You can have one strand or several strands. As a verb, the word is most commonly used in the passive voice (e.g., "was stranded") to describe people who are stuck somewhere without a way to leave. The meaning of "the shore" (noun) is quite poetic and rare in modern daily conversation; you will mostly find it in literature or older poems.
