The extra glosses are what I see in Tanaka sentences and 中辞典.

Please consult outside sources (e.g. http://www.alc.co.jp/ or http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/) and cite them as references.  Internal sources are often not trustworthy by themselves (otherwise they would already have been rolled into EDICT).

This was in the text which I was reading. Searching the site, I could find "さえ" and "すれば", but not "さえすれば".

When I went to the glossing, the following came up:-


さえすれば (exp) as long as; KD

This is not quite the same as the sum of the two parts and so I wondered about meaning. But where did the glossing come from because I search the combined dictionary.

Perhaps it should be included in the main dictionary in a way that can be searched; or perhaps the glossing needs amendment.
