As it is a Lua script, you can see it's code and add words or meanings. I believe the list of words was outdated - there are about 118 words, so if someone could tell me which are missing, then it would help, I will add them to the source.
Please remember, it will only work if you have Lua installed, it can be downloaded for free http://www.lua.org/download.html there, it is also open-source.
