| Comments: | Interesting. I note that the official translation uses "fragmentary scrawl", which aligns very closely with the native speaker's interpretation. As for the "third meaning", I think it's covered by sense 1, which we've kept very general. |

| Comments: | A native japanese speaker was so kind as to give me his thoughts regarding 破綻 in the context of my example sentence (from the prev. ref.), link above. Despite the added meanings appearing in some dictionaries, likely I had misunderstood what 破綻 meant in that context, and there is actually a third meaning for 破綻, from his example sentence: "「彼の話は破綻している」（日常会話では「筋が通っていない」と表現されます）". I leave this info here in case someone wants to improve this entry further. |

| Comments: | There's no rule that says you can't use archaisms in contemporary writing/speech. The lack of any mention in the JEs (including the 95-year old Saito) or smaller kokugos suggests that it's at least obsolete. |
