  Thanks for that clarification, Lucas, that's useful.  So yes, I can use the 
"search" API instead: https://w.wiki/5BsM and successfully retrieve far more 
entries (??? albeit very slowly -- query took almost 100 seconds, just for 500 
returns); but then I cannot restrict the search to just the labels of items.  
(I can restrict the search to //titles// of pages -- but for wikidata the 
titles appear to be Q-numbers, so that doesn't help).  So I still can't get the 
items I need.
  
  ((Note -- I now see that the specific issue of not being able to get 
continuations of MWAPI actually has its own bug, T229291 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229291>; but as Lucas notes there, this bug 
is the underlying issue)).
  
  ((2.  I'm also wondering whether the general issue of not being able to get 
EntitySearch to do everything that standard search can (of which this bug is 
one aspect) is also the real issue underlying T235496 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235496> -- ie the lack of being able to do 
a "nearmatch" search in any kind of search for a wikidata label))
