P Markers Revisited



Please excuse me, but I am having a jolly old time here, replete with 
compulsive laughter. When I am told by the salesclerk at Kinokuniya 
that I no longer need a dictionary because I know all the 28,000 words 
in the one I picked off the shelf, I am suddenly humbled by the "high-
frequency" P markers in Edict. Indeed, I have "miles to go before I 
sleep" in memorizing the arcane.

Please view the following and guffaw as you deem fit.

?æ"è ?y?Ú?Ð?z (n) gravestone; tombstone; (P) [Ex][G][GI][S][A][W]
?æ?W ?y?Ú?Ð?å?¤?z (n) grave-marker; gravestone; (P) [G][GI][S][A]
?æ?Î ?y?Ú?¹?«(P); ?Í?©?¢?µ?z (n) tombstone; gravestone; (P) [G][GI][S][A]
[W]
?æ'n ?y?Ú?¿(P); ?Í?©?¿?z (n) cemetery; graveyard; (P) [Ex][G][GI][S][A][W]

I would suggest beginners memorize all of the above as they have ready 
application in daily life. After all, they all warrant a P marker.
