<upd_detl>Hi, I'm wondering whether the example sentence, そんな事実にまったく悪びれることなく、千歳は今日も元気に過ごしております, actually bears out the definitions given. To me it looks in that sentence to mean something more like "without..." (i.e. simply saying that 悪びれる did not happen).</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>In that sentence, I believe it's entry 1313580 (事[こと]), sense 6  (nominalizing suffix) + なく. So yes, in that case it is just saying "without".</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think I misunderstood Jim's question "Is it really an adverb?".
You were asking about the second sense, right?
------------------
In Japanese the PoS of a compound XY is determined by Y.
Thus every suffix -Y really has a PoS, which is the same as the PoS of XY.
Our way of handling this is not perfect.
If XY is a verb, then we tag -Y as [aux-v].
If XY is a an i-adjective, then we tag -Y as [aux-adj].
But if XY is a noun or adverb or something else, then I think we simply tag -Y as as [suf].</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Yes, I was referring the the sense that had just been proposed.
I think "suf" is safest here.</upd_detl>
