The problem is that any dictionary entry whose word entry ends with an asterisk will be mistreated by JAWS, at least some versions. I removed the three entries whose word ends in an asterisk. The specific symptom is that the word would be translated even if it did not end with an asterisk. That's the result of my testing. If anyone else tests the two entries I removed but that Gordan says would be ok, please let us know the outcome and JAWS version here.
Sorry for all the confusion, folks. This surprised us all equally.
