Apropos of ordering senses, I was looking at the Russian file.
Most of the translations are marked as being sense no. 0, i.e.
the first sense, which is fine. Some are marked as sense no 1 (i.e.
the 2nd) but they are plainly belonging to the first sense. Examples
are 2021250 (マッド), 2021260 (ドール) and 2021190 (リッパー)
1919950 (パイン) it should be the first sense also. In 1001990
(お姉さん) the Russian is marked as the 4th sense, but it's
ста́ршая сестра́ which means "elder sister", i.e. the first sense.
In one case: 1920040 (ミーティア/メテオ) there is only one sense
in the English, but the Russian is marked as a non-existent 2nd
sense.

The translations themselves are unchanged from Oleg's original, so
I wonder why the sense numbers have been changed like this, usually
to something wrong. A bug in loading or unloading the data?
