1) a small burrowing insectivorous mammal with dark velvety fur, a long muzzle, and very small eyes

2) a spy who over a long period achieves an important position within the security defenses of a country

3) someone within an organization who anonymously betrays confidential information

4) small, often slightly raised blemish on the skin made dark by a high concentration of melanin

5) a highly spiced Mexican sauce made chiefly from chili peppers and chocolate, served with meat.  (pronounced moh-lay)

(from The New Oxford American Dictionary online)
