	Comments:	I agree that the meaning is pretty much the same as sense 4, but the examples Marcus gave, and which I've encountered often, are not really adverbs or "before a verb in negative form". I feel trying to fit this particular usage into sense 4 would lead to an odd POS and clashing glosses. The [abbr] and reference to ちょっと難しい can be dropped.

	Refs:	daijr: （下に打ち消しの語を伴って）簡単には（…できない）。「彼が犯人とは―考えられない」「私には―わかりかねます」
	Comments:	Isn't that just sense 4 (where the verb is implicit)? I don't think we can say it's an abbreviation of ちょっと難しい.

	Refs:	in ちょっと・・・それはちょっと・・・ちょっと is in itself a "declension", a way of declining an invitation, etc. A case could be made it's an "abbr" for ちょっと難しい. I think our entry should cover this use as well.

	Comments:	I think this is better for sense 1. Could be split into two senses. That's what the JEs do. "easily" and "readily" don't belong in sense 2.

	Comments:	WWWJDIC only moves the katakana to the front if it thinks it's a scientific name, which it does by detecting something in parentheses starting with a capital letter. In this case it was bring triggered by the "(P)". I have now modified it to ignore "(P)".
4.	A 2013-09-19 23:53:03 Rene Malenfant <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	as you can see above, the primary reading is not katakana. it is displayed that way on wwwjdic as an artifact of being marked uk and having katakana nokanji readings associated with it - a step taken to make katakana readings appear first for species names
3.	A* 2013-09-19 22:51:51
	Comments:	Hi, is it intentional that the primary entry for this word should be in katakana? I don't particularly notice that it is much written in katakana.
