Another one that sometimes causes confusion is Mancebo vs mancebo. The later 
meaning "the younger."  Not only can it be misinterpreted as a surname, but 
sometimes it gets translated as "junior," which may or may not be the case. 
But, if you're familiar with the Sao Mateus records, you're probably already 
seen it. I mention it for the benefit of the newbies in the group.
