## Notes
|
| 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.
