	Comments:	removing [vs] and changing sense 4 as i said in my previous comment i still don't think it makes sense to have sense 7 here just because of shared etymology, esp. as it's a trademark it's a bit like having "Apple (company)" in a "apple (fruit)" entry and it's even more awkward since it's under many senses and has restrictions

	Comments:	I don't think it sense 7 should be split out. It shares etymology with the other senses. Jmdict and kokugos too frequently have these types of senses with different PoS in the same entry.
16.	A* 2024-10-30 08:04:36 parfait8
	Comments:	looking at my refs only 4th sense/"roly-poly" (which i had to google, seems bit of an unorthodox translation for what kokugos describe as "being rounded/chubby") is [vs] (smk, iwakoku, shinkoku, examples in sankoku, meikyo, daijr/s, etc.) my refs have 2nd sense much lower maybe sense 5 and 6 could be combined? i think sense 7 here looks a bit out of place, would be less confusing if split out

	Refs:	GG5 daijr koj
	Comments:	* Add more senses: roly-poly (puppy), insects chirping, frog croaking. * [adv-to] – takes optional と (as per daijr and Google searches, e.g., "ころころと変わる") * examples and slight wording Dicts differ on how they sort the sound effects: GG5 separates out insects chirping, daijr separates out frogs croaking, etc. In English these are separate and have specific sounds, so seems clearer to have them separate (frogs ribbit or croak, insects chirp, and these are separate from bells ringing etc.). Several dicts give the “sumo wrestlers being defeated”, which seems a fixed use (understandable given sequence of bouts).
