	Refs:	daijr: （１）「おかげ」を丁寧に言う語。「―でよくわかりました」（２）漠然とした感謝の気持ちを表す語。ありがたいことに。多く挨拶の語として用いる。「―で無事に帰って参りました」「『御両親は御健在ですか』『はい，―で』」
	Comments:	I don't think "(I'm fine) thank you" is a great gloss. Although it is the usual translation for "おかげさまで元気です", it doesn't mean "thank you for asking". See sense 2 of daijr's definition. I think we should split this into two senses.

	Comments:	well, the daijs definition says the word is used to express thanks for received help or kindness. "thanks to you" seems closer to this than "thank you"

	Comments:	I suggest switching to a simple gloss. My first Japanese teacher (in 1981) said it originally meant that Buddha's shadow had passed over you.
