No, it's not, but AlMawrid is not a "Technical/Computer" dictionary. I think
our (my) main goal is to provide translations that are easy to understand, most
accurate, and not necessarily used/created by others.
Besides that, if you look up the word in www.onelook.com and have a look at the
many descriptions provided you'd get a better idea on how to translate this
word and others.
