	Comments:	Yes. I've added a new English version and made that the one in the examples. It will be active next week.

	Refs:	sentence for sense [11]: 彼はきっすいのロンドン子です。 He was born within the sound of the Bow bells.
	Comments:	The indirect language here isn't doing any favors for the intelligibility of this sense, which I think is already difficult to understand at a glance. Is there any way to update the sentence meanings? E.g. to "He is a genuine Londoner." or "He's a Londoner, born and raised."

	Comments:	Most of the 300+ sentences index for sense 1 are actually for the non-offspring sense. I'm flipping the first two senses. I'll approve, then reopen to remind me to index a few for the (new) sense 2.

	Refs:	daijs distinguishes between "offspring" and child (=youngster) in general.
	Comments:	I don't think all senses should be n-suf (but not sure which should be) could we take "young geisha" out of the "young woman" sense? maybe make its own sense? daijs mentions "姑" s ateji for thqt meaning alone

17.	A* 2017-10-23 03:03:49 Rene Malenfant <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	i think the "doer" sense comes from e.g. kojien: 人の意を表す語。多く、仕事をする人の意。万葉集3「網―あご」。「売り―」「お針―」「馬―」「江戸っ―」「売れっ―」 daijisen: ２特に、女性のする動作や仕事に付いて、それをする人が若い女性であることを表す。「踊り―」「お針―」 PoS could stand to be tidied though

	Comments:	I might leve that for Rene to comment on. He made the main expansion of this entry in 2007: (origentry) 子 [こ] /(n,n-suf) child/(P)/ (headw1) 子 (headw2) 児 (kana1) こ (pos1) n,n-suf (english1) (1) child (english2) (2) (Also 仔) young (animal) (english3) (3) (Also 娘) young woman (english4) young geisha (english5) (4) offshoot (english6) (5) (See 元も子もない) interest (reference) koj, daijr, daijs (comment) (6) (abbr) (See 子株) new shares (7) (arch) bird egg (n-suf) (8) (after a noun or -masu stem) -er (often of young women) (name) Rene Malenfant

	Comments:	There are some structural problem doing that, as it would mean putting restrictions on all other 8 senses, making the entry a mess. No reference has 仔/こ as a freestanding entry. Daijirin has a comment in the 子/児 entry: "〔動物の場合「仔」とも書く〕", which is pretty much what we have here. What is possible is a separate 仔/こ entry. Perhaps that's the way to go - it will make it searchable. I'll leave this open for a while. If the 仔/こ entry is approved, the note can change to an xref.
12.	A* 2013-05-27 16:20:13 winnie <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	Would it be appropriate to add 仔 to the kanji for this entry? As it stands now, a search for 仔 doesn't return this entry, because it's only mentioned as an aside in meaning 2.
