How to create a UW
From UNL Wiki
The UNL Dictionary is never completed. It is expected to contain all the concepts that are lexicalized in at least one language. These include:
- local concepts (such as "ilunga", from Tshiluba, which means "a person who is ready to forgive any transgression a first time and then to tolerate it for a second time, but never for a third time");
