I cannot work out how to add the radical in the shape of normal usage, but I thought that it ought to be included in the same way as, for example, is shown for the normal usage of the "roof" radical:-


ウ冠 【ウかんむり】 (n) (宀) (See 字・じ .1) "roof" kanji radical at top (radical 40)

The radical is, of course, shown in your kanji look up based on radicals, but I cannot copy the one for grass.

It's not colloquial, at least not any more than the adj-i sense is.  I'm not really sure this entry should have two senses (in a

Here again as with previous submissions, the actual radical shape is not included, nor is the radical number. In addition, it should include "at left" as below:-

片偏 【かたへん】 (n) kanji "side" radical (radical 91) at left

I have not tried to amend the entry for the reasons which have been noted on the previous submissions. However, I wondered if the following example gives a good way to include the radical where there may be some difficulty in pasting in the actual radical on its own:-

阜偏 【こざとへん】 (n) (e.g. left side of 防) (See 邑・おおざと) kanji "mound" or "small village" radical at left (radical 170)

Yahoo (based on Google) says 89k hits, but many/most are false.

No change to the above. Just adding another reading which came up. Again I cannot see the number of hits on Google so I am just making the suggestion.

Quite a lot of WWW hits, but they just seem to be 人 + 脚 and mean "human legs". No confirmation of the reading - all the 人脚/ひとあし come from edict derivations.

none of my sources has an entry for this, but koj and daij have the radical sense in their entry for 人足.  i've added the sense there.  if 人脚 is legit, it should be merged in there.  otherwise, it should be deleted.

Here again, the radical is not included, nor the number. The reason for my picking up these recent points is that I was looking at a child's radical book and I was just checking out the information in that book.

Merging.

perhaps close enough.

there seems to be a distinction in that ぎゃっ is often the kind of yelp you'd let out when being crushed or having your foot stepped on, whereas きゃっ is merely from being startled.

don't forget about きゃあ (1631770).  if there's not a total merge, then at a minimum, きゃっ should probably be merged into きゃあ.

Daijr, etc.

I see Daijirin has almost identical glosses for きゃっ and ぎゃっ. I think a merge is appropriate.

I came to this entry expecting to find that きゃっ meant "ouch", but instead it lists a more generic shriek or scream. So then I looked up "ouch", and I discovered that きゃっ does indeed mean "ouch", but that is listed under a separate entry for ぎゃあ; ギャー; ぎゃっ; ギャッ.  Seems like these two entries could be combined, perhaps :-)

None of my 漢和s have みずたまり as a reading of 潴 or 瀦; they have it as the *meaning*. I think that kanjidic kun reading is wrong, and I have removed it.
I don't think 瀦 should be added to the existing 水溜まり entry.

it has this meaning, but i see no support for this reading in any of my sources.  (only read as ちょ).  however, kanjidic does have it with this reading.  if it really has this reading, it should be merged into the existing みずたまり
