	Comments:	i'd argue against "multitudinous". there are lots of hits of "膨大な数" in eij alone. thus my guess is that the current definition is partly redundant. added "large".

	Comments:	"huge; bulky; enormous; extensive; swelling; expansion" was the existing definition, but (a) "bulky" sounds particularly wrong, because 膨大 tends to be more about abstract scale than concrete size, and (b) it didn't include the idea of "a huge number of," thus my addition of "multitudinous."
