Got it. #1270270. Moved to misc.

I have removed them both.

It's in the アウム真理教 variant of オウム真理教, and it's there
because it refers specifically to the アウム. I guess it can be in the
re_inf instead.

Only that I must have keyed them. Occasionally  I do a global removal
of stray spaces.

Surplus. I use "n-adv" instead of "adv-n". Removed.

>>     feminine gender   <g_gend attribute>*

Yes, these are attribute values. Removed from the entity list.

>>     grammatical term  <field???> but there already is a "linguistics" field?.

I have dropped it for now. I suspect it's not needed.

>>     irregular verb   <pos>
>>     male slang   <misc>
>>     manga slang    <misc>
>>     masculine gender   <g_gend attribute>*

>>     negative (in a negative sentence, or with negative verb)    <pos>
>>     negative verb (when used with)    <pos>

These are not needed. Removed.

>>     neuter gender    <g_gend attribute>*
>>     quod vide (see another entry)    <misc???>

Replaced by the xref. Removed.

Also:

>> Two more things to add to that list
>> - "gikun (meaning) reading" in re_inf (32 times) and misc (1 time)

Fixed.

>> - "idiomatic expression" in <pos> (2 times) and <misc> (5 times)

Moved both to <misc>

>>   * -- g_gend attribute not used yet.

No, it was a bit cheaty putting it in. I wrote a paper a couple
of years ago on JMdict, and realised I needed proper genders on the
French, German, etc. examples. So I added the attribute, but the markup has
never happened. For the WaDokuJT stuff, I think it maybe  extractable
from the German glosses.

>> ant: 6
>> audit: 8237

Interesting. I must mull over it.

Thanks
