It depends if you mean a single word or a two part word.
Get has many meanings, but usually in conjuction with a preposition or an adverb.
Set on the other hand has many variations in it's own right. I would say set.
E.g. Are you set? (ready)
Agassi won the first set.
John set the table.
I've got a beautiful chess set.
The jelly should take about 2 hours to set.
He's very set in his ways.
He's a member of the Jet set.
That do?

'Set' has loads of meanings, but if you just want to go with a sound pattern, then 'rose' has I think even more - the flower rose, he rose from the dead, cod roes, the colour rose, rows of seats, the man that rows the boat, and others I can't be bothered to get into.

No need to select any particular word.
The English language is so flexible and beautiful, that there is no need.
