  Comments:
It doesn't refer to the principle/policy itself.
In all the examples in the refs, it comes straight after a noun. I don't think 一本やり itself is adjectival.
I don't think the third sense is needed. It's only in daijs and it's not how you'd say "one/single spear" in modern Japanese. The other kokugos have "槍一突きで勝負をきめること" but it's archaic.

Already has noun glosses. Not even sure about the "adj-no".
