Hi, Steve.

It is clear that entre and entra should indeed be "swapped."  With so
many words to consider, errors (especially the well intended errors)
happen.  I have made the corrections in as many places as I could find.

To others in the LFN group:

If you come across entre or entra, please correct the error:  entre is
the preposition meaning between or among; entra is the verb meaning
enter and the noun meaning entrance.

Many thanks,

George
