	Comments:	this is difficult for me. 'tekitouni', according to GG5, can mean 'haphazardly' or 'whatever' (example).. encountered in book as 'tekitounisuwatteiidesuyo', according o native friend meaning 'sit wherever you want'. should this become a separate entry? (also with 'as you see fit'?)

	Comments:	Works for me. Most of what I see is sense 1.

	Comments:	Sense 4 was my attempt at merging senses 2 and 3 (so that our entry is in line with the kokugos). Going by daijr's sense 2 and daijs's sense 3 definitions, I still feel this is the best approach.

	Comments:	I see all 17 sentences are for sense 1.

	Comments:	I don't know, I feel like there might be a distinction between "あいつ、適当なやつやからな" (sense 2) and ”これ、適当に描いてみた" (sense 3). I feel like there's a lot more negativity in sense 2 than 3 and that there's a difference in doing something "irresponsibly" and "with only half a mind". It might be safer to go with your version though as nobody else splits like that...

	Comments:	I don't think senses 2 and 3 are distinct. The dictionaries don't split like this. I've proposed a merged sense (added onto the end). (My favourite translation for this has always been "half-arsed(/assed)" but it's probably a little too informal/vulgar to include as a gloss.)
