	Comments:	I can't see where the "-able" sense came from. Dropping it. Sense 3 only applies to べし. We use "dictionary form" in quite a few other entries.

	Comments:	Is it really right to say "suf. to verbs?" it follows verbs in the "Japanese infinitive" (forget what it's called), but is it suffixed to them?
