Refs: | all dicts list the brother sense as being first except meikyo, which has *only* the pn and suf senses. it lists the brother sense as (造). all sources have pn and suf as being different senses, which i think makes sense given that they have to be glossed quite differently in english |
|
Comments: | listing the brother sense last, as a mixture of meikyo and the other approaches seems reasonable. there's no way that anyone is reading the noun 兄 as けい without furigana |
