  Comments: 
It should resemble a definition when it's part of the gloss. Opencooper used "phrase" but I think "word" is fine.
よいっしょ/ヨイッショ isn't in the refs. I think we can hide those forms.

I thought about doing it that way, but the gloss by itself is meaningless, since it's just a romanization. Many apps de-emphasize notes, whereas the part moved out is essential to understanding what the gloss means.
