	Comments:	I've done a lot of tidying of this messy situation. I can't find anything like 169 cases of ぐらい. I'll have to leave it until the next download is generated, in about a week, to investigate further.

	Comments:	Jim, there are 127 くらい that have been tagged 位 - most (all?) of them should be retagged くらい There are 159 ぐらい that have been tagged 位 - all of them should be retagged くらい

	Comments:	closing. a matter for the mailing list if you wish to raise it
6.	A* 2015-07-20 05:33:39 Johan Råde <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	The problem with this kind of note is that if you search for 位 in an app or an a site that uses JMdict, then the entry will usually not come up.

	Comments:	There was quite a long and heated discussion about this in 2007/2008. I think the consensus was that a full merge, which most 国語s don't do, was messy and confusing. 乃/の was brought into it too (we split them apart evetually.)
4.	A* 2015-07-20 01:52:01 Rene Malenfant <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	presumably because there is already an entry for 位 as a noun, and we didn't want to merge them
3.	A* 2015-07-19 20:29:31 Johan Råde <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	What is the purpose of the note? Why not list 位 as a kanji form instead?
2.	A 2012-08-01 03:55:55 Jim Breen <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	I think it's implied in sense 2. It's hard to bring out in a definition.

	Comments:	Hi, I understand that くらい in some contexts means that an amount is unusually small or unexpectedly small. I'm not sure if this sense is totally captured by the present definitions.
