First thing I tried was to search for ကလေး, no results. Seems like this only does one direction? I guess you didn't write all the entries yourself and are instead working with an existing dataset that only supports English headwords out of the box (I'm curious where you got that data from, by the way) but I think it should be possible to parse the entries so you can reverse-search as well.

Yeah, this is a one-direction dictionary for now. You’re right that I didn’t write all the entries myself. The data comes from an existing dataset, but I had to do a lot of work to clean, sort, and trim it. The original was pretty bloated, and I wanted the dictionary to run fast. Reverse-search is definitely possible, though. Parsing the entries to support that would make it much more useful. It’s something I’ve been thinking about, and your comment is a good reminder to prioritize it. By the way, if you’re curious about the Myanmar language—or anything related—we should definitely connect. I’d love to exchange ideas!
