NOTE TO USERS<br />

Several conventions have been employed <strong>in</strong> th<strong>is</strong> dictionary.<br />

The most notable <strong>is</strong> that when an Engl<strong>is</strong>h term can be rendered <strong>in</strong><br />

two very similar ways, where<strong>in</strong> the second <strong>is</strong> an addition to the<br />

first, parentheses are used:<br />

desk - cuadro (de pupitre)<br />

i.e., "desk" can be rendered as either "cuadro" or "cuadro de<br />

pupitre." In addition, three-letter subject codes have been added<br />
