I am removing quite a few too. One of the sources I used
was "Ichimango goi bunruishuu" published in 1998 by Senmon Kyouiku
Publishing. A wordlist from that book slid of a passing truck. They are
marked as "ichi1" in JMdict and result in a P. When I come across
one which is not all that common, I change the tag to "ichi2".

Another source was a commercial, erm, wordlist which I won't mention
by name. It contains quite a few doubtful ones, so I dropped all
which weren't in the first 24,000 in the newspaper list.

By all means tell me about ones to drop.

Jim
