In American English, inquiry is preferred as a synonym for investigations in all situations and enquiry is rarely used |

| Comments: | Aligning glosses with backref, usage statistics, and American English. The rub here is that "enquiry" is not merely a straightforward spelling deviation, as "enquiry" exists in North American English... it's just ignored. Minimally, I think "inquiry" should have come ahead of "enquiry", if you think they still need to be kept side-by-side. |

| Comments: | I don't think ENQ is appropriate as a gloss here （unless maybe as a separate sense） Since sk/sK forms aren't supposed to show up to end users, we don't give them other tags. |
