<upd_detl>Only two notes use "ren'yōkei form", and I've already proposed an edit on the other. Most notes follow the "-masu stem" or "-te form" pattern or a more direct pattern like "plain past." I think this would be better as "-ku form" or "continuative form."</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>This is probably better, as it can also follow the -で form of a na-adjective, although that's quite rare. Also, ではない has its own entry, maybe it should be an xref.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Was gonna say I'm not sure it's better, since the な doesn't belong to the 形容動詞 the same way い belongs to a 形容詞, but that doesn't help for words or senses that are [adj-na] only (like 結構 sense 1,2 and 3). It's just a bit less consistent with the "-masu" stem we have for verbs than "-ku" form would be. Works though
The xref would need to be to でない, not ではない
Also, a more general thing, shouldn't [aux-adj] be the first PoS for sense 5 and 6?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I don't get the point about the xref.
I think the POS is OK.</upd_detl>

Notes
- Click on the entry seq# to see all versions of the entry.
- ⇒,⇔,⇐ Denote cross references (xrefs). ⇒ shows an xref from this entry sense to some other entry. ⇐ shows an xref on some other entry that points to this one; to change, edit the other entry. ⇔ indicates two xrefs, one in each direction.
- Cross references marked with an asterisk (*) after the seq# denote a reference to an unapproved entry. These will disappear when the unapproved entry is approved.
