| Comments: | Meadow and prairie shouldn't be in the same sense. The kokugos and JEs mostly have distinct そうげん and くさはら entries. We've attempted a merge. I'd leave it the way it is, but if it were to change, it probably should break into two entries rather than just have one sense. |

| Refs: | Meikyo, gakkoku only have 1 sense. Maybe we should follow their lead? 2 senses feel overly granular to me. |
