One root covers grass and culinary or medicinal herbs, and context does the sorting, though kuracherbo spells out a medicinal one when you need to be clear. Grass as a lawn or expanse is usually or o, that last built with -- for the place, meaning a meadow. Note the number: singular is the mass of it, plural counts individual plants or kinds, which is why the last sentence above works. The adjective is unremarkable, and herboman臐anto is a herbivore if you ever need it.
