  Comments:
* Add [lsrc]
* Add “strict”.
The nuance is often closer to “strict”, as in “strict 
*requirements*” (要求, 条件) – “severe requirements” is not 
really idiomatic English.
(Heard from a woman bemoaning that the men she met were 
choosy and demanding (シビア), and I was confused because 
“severe” suggests mean or sadistic.)
