	Comments:	splitting this out. i think i'm partially or wholly responsible for this mess, but really most of these readings shouldn't be in here as they fail 2/3 (since readings differ and they meanings also differ because they only share one of eight senses). this will at least keep the entry for the ichi1 readings clean

	Comments:	Hi, I believe that かしら at least can mean "head" in the sense of "leader", "chief" etc.. I think this range of meanings could be more clearly indicated in the definition.
