Comments: | I don't think the x-ref is necessary. We don't tend to use them in cases like this. |

Comments: | Super useful to learn this as a set with the underlying term(and the xref is [ichi1,news1,nf10], which suggests why this fairly unusual reduplication is in somewhat-common use). I was suspicious of the POS differences with the xref and looked pretty hard at this, but what we had seems fairly correct, even if some usage is uncommon. [n] at least seems droppable here. There are a couple of very old google book results with a few phrases that might be "pure" [n] usage, ("明々白々を容れず" from a 1904 book on Descartes...), but these are extremely limited. |
