Another one that sometimes causes confusion is Mancebo vs mancebo. The later meaning "the younger." Not only can it be misinterpreted as a surname, but sometimes it gets translated as "junior," which may or may not be the case. But, if you're familiar with the Sao Mateus records, you're probably already seen it. I mention it for the benefit of the newbies in the group.
