Comments: | Dropping it to sense 3. "jailhouse" is pure 米語, and I prefer an international flavour. |

Comments: | Add gloss “jailhouse” – this is essentially synonymous with 牢, but this gloss captures the nuance of 〜屋 and is idiomatic in English. (This term also feels a bit old-fashioned, hence a bit fitting as gloss.) (Came up in a poem.) |
