Comments: | Sorry about that, message received going forward. I guess I thought this particular entry might be more controversial, and I guess it wasn't. Thank you for the feedback. |

Comments: | Brian, you don't need to post so many examples. If you come across a dubious use of adj-no, just remove it and leave a comment saying that the word doesn't appear to be adjectival. The editors will almost certainly agree. There are thousands of kango entries with adj-no tags that should be removed. |

Comments: | Should [adj-no] be dropped here? Perhaps this is better left alone for practical reasons. But if "胎児" is literally "the child in the womb", is this [adj-no]? Just because we have "fetal" in English as an adjective. "fetus's heartbeat", "fetal heartbeat". Compare: 幼児 (toddler, not [adj-no]). (I've taken the top 胎児の ngrams, and matched them with 幼児 in the refs). The potential usage seems almost identical. There are also a number of nouns prefixed with 胎児, just as there are with 幼児. Here's one that got an adj. gloss: 幼児退行: infantile regression |
