  -> yes, entry was the first thing that crossed my mind, I just replaced it with the dictionary options to match the ref. Also agree on the standard abbreviation, and on the context clinching it. Thanks!
agree  Luis Antonio de Larrauri: sub voce, yes. In Spanish we use "voz" with the meaning of "entry".
