	Comments:	Perhaps "yourself" or "your good self" would work. 座右の is often used for "favourite". I'm not sure that's clear from sense 1, but then the JEs don't make it explicit either.

	Refs:	daij, meikyo
	Comments:	I don't think we should use "you" for a term that's supposed to be an indirect way of addressing someone.

	Comments:	-i think sense 2 is just sometimes most conveniently translated as "desk" (i.e. i don't think it actually refers to one's ~desk~). so having it as a sense like this is perhaps misleading. belongs in sense 1 if anywhere -there is a second definition in the kokugos though

	Comments:	Trying to make the gloss more noun-like. It's almost always 座右の or 座右に. The "desk" sense is my own, but it fits uses such as 座右の書 and 座右銘. It could just go in sense 1.
