Great work!

Several Spanish words are listed with unrelated meanings: "este" (east) 
and "este" (this) are different words, as are "sed" (thirst) and "sed" (be). 
For {sumti}, "subject of a sentence" is more likely to be the relevant 
meaning than the verb form. "corto", at {tordu}, does not have its homonym 
(form of "cortar").
