Before this incessant swarm of dictionaries or even dicos, one wonders: what for? Have we forgotten the basic and even more fundamental dictum: Non multa, sed multum?! In this study, a somewhat novel approach is achieved for the sole purpose of getting out of the stream, as they say, out of the routine and the stagnation where publishers indulge themselves, publishing in a rush without bringing anything new to users, but taking advantage simply of the need for users to have a dictionary on their desks, whether students, translators or other types of intellectuals, open to the world and thus to the world of languages. At the end of this demonstration, the conclusion is that we must do something urgently, otherwise the living languages are in danger of turning into dead languages.
