Comments: | I added adj-no to sense 1 in 2016 but there's little evidence for it in the n-grams (looking at the top 〜の terms). I don't think adj-f is needed. Those examples are really just compound nouns. |

Comments: | The xref is quite uncommon, and probably unhelpful to point at without significant nuance explanation. (comments at the xref, also edited) I feel like pushback will come on removing "lean figure". My argument is that "slim" is almost always the right J-E gloss. (or "weight loss" if the text is more elaborately massaged). Sure, you won't get this entry if you search "lean", but you won't get it if you search "thin" either. The sankoku definition are: 1. やせたからだ 2. 「ふとったからだを」やせたからだにすること Either way, you have to have weight and then lose it. For "lean" a person can always be lean. For "slim" I grant that it's ambiguous, (I think someone can always be slim if they've been healthy all their lives), but there is a strong exercise/weight loss/health connotation to "slim" which seems to match this term. Having "lean" on a gloss here, to me, makes it appear less-specific than it actually is. Google image search for "痩身" kind of says everything, I think. |
