A false friend worth flagging: is a desert, the empty place, not a dessert. Pudding is with one letter fewer, and the two words have been quietly ruining Esperanto menus for a century. The adjective dezerta means deserted or desolate as well as literally desert, and i is to lay waste to somewhere. The unrelated verb dezerti, to desert from an army, is a third trap in the same phonetic neighbourhood.
