This puzzles me. The Spanish glosses are sometimes really weird. eg,
pont - puente
kord - cuerda
port - puerta

This 'ue' does represent an original /O/, but it contrasts with /o/. It is
also not pronounced o anywhere, except maybe portugal - and that is
generally not thought of as the same language. What happened?
