We do need to sort out a unified approach to expl, etc.
I felt I needed to explain this one a bit as poi are two different things in Maori culture.

I don't think it's our job to explain non-
Japanese concepts/words in detail. This is 
a wa-ei dictionary, not a general 
encyclopedia.
Since when are "exact reverse searches" 
even a thing we care about?

What does putting the expl glosses inside the parent glosses accomplish other than breaking exact searches?  I don't agree that [expl] has to be limited to Japanese concepts, and I don't understand why [expl] wouldn't be a superior solution here.

The term is used for both, and somtimes the music as well.  Could possibly be one sense.

Like I've repeated a couple of times, I think [expl] should be reserved for Japanese concepts
