i think there might need to be a word for a person that draws. ๐‘›๐‘ฎ๐‘ท๐‘ผ?

It would be useful to know the frequency of 'drawer' meaning 'person who draws'. Adding it to the ReadLex would mean that every time the word 'drawer' (as in furniture) appears in a text, it would become a heteronym that needs to be resolved manually. Given I have never seen the word 'drawer' outside legal texts, as in a person who draws a cheque, I wonder if it would actually help to add it or just make more work.

I think this should only be a consideration if the primary usage of the dictionary is in crude latin-to-shavian transliteration programs. (even if this is the case, you already have heteronyms in the dictionary)

If it is meant to be a standalone dictionary, "a person that draws" is indeed a word (and it is pronounced differently from the furniture as well).

@trosel Agreed, it is a legitimate heteronym. I've added it.
