  Comments:
Most instances of 独得 seem to match the first sense so I think it makes sense to combine 1610520 with this entry. Others might disagree.

I'm really struggling on the translation for the second sense (which applies to 独得 only). The original gloss, "learning by oneself", doesn't cut it in my opinion.
