<upd_detl>This should maybe be split into 2 entries? Is "yes" ever written as えー? And is the surprised interjection (which isn't really adequately covered by the current glosses) ever spelled ええ? I don't think they are.
(we should also include readings like えーー and えーっ , though not for "yes")</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>中辞典 and other JEs have all these senses for ええ. I can't see a simple split working. Maybe this will work.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I suggest
ええ (no additional forms)
1) yes
2) good
and another entry with the remaining senses
えー, えーっ、えーー[sK], ええ - with ええ possibly as [sK] (we could also maybe merge in えっ)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>If 中辞典 is correct, it probably shouldn't be split.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>中辞典 has 5 senses for ええ. I'll quote the whole entry:
1 《肯定･承諾》 yes; 《口語》 yeah; uh-huh
¶ええ, いいですよ. Yeah, that's OK.
2 《ためらい》 Well …; Ah …; 〈ええと〉 Let me see …; Let's see …
¶ええ, 2 千円ぐらいだったと思います. Let's see …. It was about \2,000, I think.
3 《いら立ち･怒り》 Hey!; 〈ええっ, えい〉 What!
¶ええ, ほっといてくれ. Hey! Get off my back!
4 《不審･驚き》 No!; Not really!; You don't say!
¶ええ, 昨日火事があったんですって? No! You say there was a fire yesterday?
5 《疑問》 What?; Really?
¶ええ, その話は本当ですか? What? Is that true?</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>But if you look at results for "ええ、そう" vs "えー、そう" on Twitter or even Google Booksit becomes clear that ええ means "yes" and えー means "what" and there's essentially no overlapping.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Wiktionary and Daijirin classify the adjective ええ as 形容詞. This adjective acts as いい, e.g. we can say ええやん, so it's not prenominal. Not sure whether adj-i or adj-ix is the best choice</upd_detl>
