Thank you for an eye-opening answer – I had no idea native speakers don't really make the distinction! As for using "town" about cities, I was thinking more of the fact that dictionaries explain the meaning of "city" in terms of "large town", which to me indicates that "town" would be a hypernym of "town" and "city" in much the same way as "dog" is a hypernym of "dog" and "bitch", but I guess I've drawn the wrong conclusion here.

hypernym or hyperonym (sometimes called umbrella term or blanket term[1][2][3][4]) denoting a supertype

A word with multiple senses is likely to havemultiple, distinct tokens that can accurately be described as the direct hypernym for one or more ofits senses

indirect hypernymy (i.e., any entailment) is included in hypernymy and indirect hyponymy is included in hyponymy

In coordpairs, a co-hyponym relationship is labelled 1 whereas other realtionships (direct hyponymy and direct hypernymy) are labelled 0.

In entpairs, a direct hypernym relationship is labelled 1 whereas other relationships (hyponymy and co-hyponymy) are labelled 0.

Unlike all previous approaches, which typically extract direct hypernym edges for terms
