Curtis's advice below is sound. Kubo can help students at times when 
they need to translate as fast as they can.

I was teaching as an instructor at New Orleans Seminary when the 
Reader's Lexicon first came out. A student in my Greek class hailed 
me across the quad to ask, "Do you have Kubo?" To which I replied, 
"No, I walk this way because I have Lumbago."
