Introduction

This page is for general use to place words/phrases which are in the process of being turned into full dictionary entries. Other people can contribute to readings, meanings, etc., and eventually the material can be placed in JMdict/EDICT.

Possibly useful links:

  • the New Entry page in WWWJDIC. This can be used once the entry is complete enough to go in the dictionary.
  • the New Words page prepared by Paul Blay, containing words phrases from the Tanaka Corpus that are not yet in Jmdict/EDICT.

The Work in Progress

遅ばせながら and 遅らばせながら (variants of 遅ればせながら)

The first variant showed up in an e-mail message, and this made me look for it via Google, since no dictionary carries it. It seems to be rather common (abt. 38,000 hits), and i even found a not uncommon second variant (abt. 19,000 hits). I don't know how to merge this information appropriately with the existing JEDIC entry for 遅ればせながら, since i actually don't know the sound (reading) of the first variant and (obviously) find the pronunciation of the second variant at odds with the dictionary entry. (^^)

My guess is 遅ばせながら is simply a case of people thinking the れ could be absorbed into the kanji (遅). I'll add it to the 遅ればせながら entry as a variant. I suspect 遅らばせながら is a not-uncommon typo; I'll add it as a comment.
BTW, when you put the 遅ればせながら entry in in 2008, you put おそればせながら as the reading. Are you sure of it? The ルミナス和英辞典 says it's おくればせながら, as does the プログレッシブ和英中辞典 at Yahoo. JimBreen 03:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

捕まる

A note: entering つかまる into "Word Search" brings up two entries that are identical except for a kanji being displayed as image in one of them

This is because entries with non-JIS208 kanji are quarantined in a separate file. When we get to the new system, they can be merged. JimBreen 02:03, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
They have now been merged! JimBreen 01:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

デラシネ的

Read, in an e-mail message, this sentence: わたくし自身デラシネ的です。

大辞泉 defines デラシネ as 根無し草。転じて、故郷や祖国から切り離された人

大辞林 defines it as 根なし草の意故郷を喪失した人

No problem with the meaning, but i dont' know the real-world connotations, in the (a) Japanese way of looking at this. Thus, i wonder which English expressions (i.e., any or all of the following) would fit? I can see a span from "rootless", "uprooted" , or "exiled" to "multicultural", "unfettered", or "free spirit".

Or all of the above. Without knowing the context, I'd go for "rootless". JimBreen 02:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

痛 and びびり

Here is a text: 抜歯、響きが痛そう。落ち着き大事ですね。整形に行ったときに医者が医学書を開いたときはマジビビりました。

Plugging this into "Translate Words" gets the following (excerpt only shown):

抜歯、響きが痛そう。

   * 痛 【いた】 (int) ouch; ow; ED

整形に行ったときに医者が医学書を開いたときはマジビビりました。

   * びびり (n) chatter mark (machine tools); ED

Now i have some questions that come out of the results shown above.

1) 痛そう contains the stem 痛, which means "painful", whereby 痛い is the adjectival form, 痛く the adverbial form, and 痛そう the, for lack of a better term, appearance form. why does the glossary give us only "痛 【いた】 (int) ouch; ow; ED"? I think it would be helpful if all all adjectives were recognized by their stem... how should one handle this interms of amending existing glosses or adding hlosses?

痛そう and the like should be handled. I have added そう to the possible inflections of い-adjectives, and now 痛そう gets:
    • Possible inflected verb or adjective: (adj., -seems)
    • 痛い 【いたい】 (adj-i) (1) painful; sore; (adj-i,suf) (2) exceeding; (P); EP
Tell me about any more. JimBreen 02:16, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

2) The gloss for びびり is obviously off the mark here, and a reference to びびる would be most useful. I recall having mentioned some time ago that noun forms of verbs (and verb forms of nouns) :-) would benefit from being crosslinked. In that context, is it OK to add such crosslinks, whenever a situation arises where they don't exist, as amendmends?

Yes, feel free to propose amendments like that. As for the gloss for びびり, リーダーズ+プラス has "《機械の》びびり, CHATTER MARK.", so I suspect it's not way off the mark. JimBreen 03:13, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
