A fairly nice example of a Spanish triplet, from Latin REGULA 'rule':
1. reja (popular/inherited) 'fence, barrier'
2. regla (semi-learned/inherited-remodeled) 'rule'
3. regular (learned/borrowed) 'regular'
Technically the third member is from Latin REGULARIS.
Kudos to Dorothea Salo for this example.
