      "& Co." simply means "and company". GG5's gloss is "& Co., Ltd."　I think "Ltd." is sufficient.

      Possibly awkward, but I felt since GG5 is glossing it that way we could cope.  Since searching for ケーケー only brought up the ＫＫＫ entry, I thought it would be useful.

      Isn't it slightly awkward to say that "KK" means "Inc." "Ltd.", "& Co." considering that "KK" (written in romaji) is usually used in English rather than in Japanese?

(Also it's my impression that "Co., Ltd." is the most common translation of 株式会社 that's used by Japanese companies in their English names)

      Probably not necessary as it's the headword.

      Shouldn't this include the gloss "KK"?
