191
+
192
+ - Some entries include naturally occurring Nigerian Pidgin paraphrases rather than strict literal translations.
193
+ - Orthographic variation may occur due to non-standardized spelling conventions in Nigerian Pidgin.
194
+ - Certain educational concepts may have multiple valid Pidgin renderings depending on context.
