<upd_detl>Hi, I understand that くらい in some contexts means that an amount is unusually small or unexpectedly small. I'm not sure if this sense is totally captured by the present definitions.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think it's implied in sense 2. It's hard to bring out in a definition.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>What is the purpose of the note?
Why not list 位 as a kanji form instead?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>presumably because there is already an entry for 位 as a noun, and we didn't want to merge them</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>There was quite a long and heated discussion about this in 2007/2008. I think the consensus was that a full merge, which most 国語s *don't* do, was messy and confusing. 乃/の was brought into it too (we split them apart evetually.)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>The problem with this kind of note is that if you search for 位 in an app or an a site that uses JMdict, then the entry will usually not come up.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Jim, there are 127 くらい that have been tagged 位 - most (all?) of them should be retagged くらい
There are 159 ぐらい that have been tagged 位 - all of them should be retagged くらい</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I've done a lot of tidying of this messy situation. I can't find anything like 169 cases of ぐらい. I'll have to leave it until the next download is generated, in about a week, to investigate further.</upd_detl>
