  Comments:
Thought this was in need of a major revision.
There's a lot of variation in how the 国語s split the senses so I've tried to condense them in a way that makes sense.

I'm still not sure if the 1st sense glosses adequately cover usage like "学費を稼ぐ". GG5 has "(go out to) work for ~", which I like, but it might be a bit too wordy to use as a gloss.
Any thoughts?
