daijs - has four main senses, sub-senses in all but one.
  Comments:
I don't think we need to include "list" - I think it refers to the 3 men rather the list containing their names.

"accomplished people" rather then "... men" because daijs is gender-neutral (三人)

First sense here was confusing.
Not sure this needs to have 5 senses?
