  Comments:
I think we can merge senses 2 and 3. The refs don't have a "device" sense.
I don't think the x-ref on sense 1 is needed.

Swapping order of senses 2 and 3.
I think it's better to have a wasei term for the x-ref on sense 3.
Changed "makes or does" to "creates". I think that's broad enough.

  Comments:
Just one sense doesn't really cover all the uses of the term.
