	Refs:	https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=canine canine behavior 犬の行動 canine coronavirus 《医》犬コロナウイルス canine diet 犬の食事 canine heartworm 《獣医》犬糸状虫、フィラリア ... Gpt suggests these English collocations: 犬の歯 → canine teeth (very common) 犬の骨格 → canine skeletal structure 犬の口腔衛生 → canine oral health ✅ 犬の感染症 → canine infectious disease 犬の心臓病 → canine heart disease When 犬の refers to dogs as a biological category, not an individual pet: 犬の進化 → canine evolution 犬の嗅覚 → canine olfaction 犬の行動学 → canine behavior (science)
	Comments:	It's certainly not the most common use, but shouldn't we squeeze "canine" in here somewhere? 　Particularly for medical/science terms. Eijiro has 95 collocations. Search "canine oral health", for example, as something common in modern English. Or "canine heart disease", (which I think would have to become "heart disease in dogs", not "dog heart disease", though google says the latter is possible). (Ranking is: 1. "heart disease in dogs" 2. "canine heart disease", no data: "dog heart disease" ) https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=heart+disease+in+dogs,canine+heart+disease,dog+heart+disease,&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en&smoothing=3 "canine oral health" ties "dog's oral health" https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=canine+oral+health,dog's+oral+health&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en&smoothing=3

	Comments:	It's plainly a mess, but it seems that the lupus is in or out depending on which way the wind blows. I wondered about "Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris", but having parentheses is simpler. Rene's rules does do say "Whenever possible", but I think this is a good one to bend a bit.

	Comments:	Policy: "For animal subspecies, this consists of merely writing the subspecific epithet. For example, the cinnamon bear, a subspecies of American black bear, should be submitted as: cinnamon bear (Ursus americanus cinnamomum) ... Whenever possible, junior synonyms should not be submitted. Submit only the single scientific name currently accepted as the senior synonym. Wikipedia and The Encyclopedia of Life are good resources for finding the most up-to-date classifications." _ EOL has it down as "Canis lupus familiaris". Wikipedia also uses it as the senior synonym

	Comments:	Adding the Khmer glosses works, but for now I think I'll remove them (they can be re-instated once we have a better arrangement for editing multi-language glosses.) What was added was: Sense 1: [khm] ឆ្កែ Sense 3: [khm] អាឆ្កែ Sense 4: [khm] ដែលគ្មានតម្លៃ
