Curated words the sources do not supply
- cavatina — lyrical opening section or short solo aria. Not in the pinned sources: The pinned dump has a page for the curated target but no entry in the list's language.
- acuto — high note or high register. Not bound: ambiguous in the pinned sources: The pinned sources record the word as more than one lexeme and the curated cue spans them, so no single binding is correct.
- concertato — coordinated ensemble passage with multiple principals. Not in the pinned sources: The pinned sources record the word only as a part of speech the curation does not name.
