Combine multiple parameters

Is it possible to combine the ml & lc parameters. For eg.
words(ml='destroy', lc='relationship', max=5)

Right now this gives the same result as words(ml='destroy', max=5)
It ignores the lc portion.

For this particular example, the Datamuse API returns the same list for both queries:
https://api.datamuse.com/words?ml=destroy&max=5
https://api.datamuse.com/words?ml=destroy&lc=relationship&max=5

So, python-datamuse behaves correctly here. Do you know of another example?

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. The results ARE the same.
I was wondering if they could be different. So for the second list, we would expect words with meanings like "destroy" which follow "relationship"

This library is just a wrapper for the Datamuse API, so its purpose is to provide a Python interface for using that API. I don't have any control over how the Datamuse service responds, and changing those results is outside the scope of this library. You can contact the Datamuse developers here (according to the "contact us" link on Datamuse's website). This way, the Java library, Node.js module, and any other programs that use the service can receive the same new features.
