Hence vofli is 'flight' while 'sfani' is 'fly'. What you are saying is valuable for the dictioanry and will be done there, but I do not want to confuse the keywords with the definitions. This has already led to problems, e.g. with the 'name gismu'. Thus if you wish to do that, I recommend a separate column from the keyword column. At some point not very soon we'll do something to expand the word list. But the priority is the textbook, the textbook, and the textbook. So other than cleanning up for posting things that are already written, we will not be generating anything special for on line use. Lojbab
