| Comments: | Given that all the "something" examples in the JEs are 何事か or 何事もなく, I actually think we can drop that sense. As far as I can tell, 何事 by itself is never used with that meaning. Meikyo doesn't even have a "something" sense, and it's only an archaic sense in the other kokugos. |

| Comments: | Hard pinning down sentences for senses 2 and 3 because many are already linked to 何事か and 何事も. |

| Comments: | "what", "something" and "everything" are separate senses in all the refs except GG5. I don't think we need a "nothing" sense. |
