The first refers to any member of the family Polygonaceae; the second and third refer specifically to buckwheat, and are synonyms. {xruba} currently is the best guess for "buckwheat", and has no gloss for "sorrel" or "rhubarb", which have their own words ({stanyxruba} and {pezyxruba} IIRR; neither is in jbovlaste). So someone looking up "buckwheat" gets the general term {xruba}, and someone looking up "sorrel" or "rhubarb" gets nothing. How should this be fixed? phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
