Hint 1. It matters whether several English equivalents are given with a comma between them or with a semicolon. If there is a comma, only their related/common meaning is implied; if there is a semicolon, meanings should be regarded independently. E.g.
fila kwo row, line; queue, file
Row and line are given with a comma between them, which makes it clear that here row does not mean quarrel nor trip in a rowboat. Similarly queue and file mutually specify each other, implying the meaning a line of waiting people or vehicles.
Hint 2. Using your browsers searchbox (press «Ctrl+F») you can look up English words, so this dictionary may serve also as an English-LdP one to some extent.
