Hi Dirk,
That sounds like an interesting project!
I can confirm that in Portuguese, the word " meteorito " is correct.
I would like to add that in its plural form, is " meteoritos ".
However, on the list of languages given in your site, there is a minor
error, in english, for the word " Portugese " - obviously, it should have
been written
" Portuguese ".
As a matter of interest: Other Portuguese meteorite related words:
meteoroid - meteoroide
meteor - meteoro
bolide - bólide
fireball - bola de fogo
smoke trail - rasto de fumo
magnitude - magnitude
On another note: Iam sorry that I could not activate the "Visitor's Map "
shown at the bottom of your page. I dont know why.
Keep well,
