<upd_detl>Some dialogues I am working on now use ま apparently as an interjection, though I do not understand the exact nuance. Is it a variant of まあ? It is used by males in the dialogue. (In fact まあ is also used by males, which contradicts the "fem" tag here.) Anyway, it would be good to include this meaning of ま, whatever it is...</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>i think there's something to be said for at least splitting by PoS (according to daijr, gg5, meikyo and koj, the [fem] tag is deserved for the [int] sense), although the japanese PoS don't necessarily match up with their best english translations</upd_detl>
