Some words, even though they have one meaning, have multiple translations. For 
instance, "cfinyvra" means a certain kind of tool, which includes both crowbars 
and nutpicks. So far jbovlaste can handle this.

Now consider "gear". There's a fu'ivla "engranaje" (which I think should have 
at least three places). But first, second, and third gear, though they involve 
gears in this sense, are "pamoi parbi" etc. (short for seltonparbi).

Then there are phrases and collocations. How do you say "switch gears" or 
"change gears"? That should also be in the dictionary.
