No change to the above, but could we have a cross-link to the following entry:-

ちぎる 《千切る》 (v5r,vt) (1) (uk) to tear to pieces; to tear to shreds; to tear up; (2) (uk) to pick (e.g. fruit); to pluck; to tear off; (suf,v5r) (3) (uk) (after the -masu stem of a verb) to do ... heavily; to do ... heartily; to do ... vigorously; (P)

Add plane, hotel, and boat senses.
Split up as conceptually separate:
1. room to *receive* guest (at a house, say)
2. passenger seating area (on a plane)
3. lodging (at a hotel or on a boat)

近頃では、若者に限らず、「煮詰まってしまっていい考えが浮かばない」のように「行き詰まる」の意味で使われることが多くなっている。本来は誤用。2の意は1900年代後半に始まるようである。「行き詰まる」の意は1950年ころの使用例があるが、広まったのは2000年ころからか。
文化庁が発表した平成19年度「国語に関する世論調査」では、「7日間に及ぶ議論で、計画が煮詰まった」を、本来の意味である「（議論や意見が十分に出尽くして）結論の出る状態になること」で使う人が56.7パーセント、間違った意味「（議論が行き詰まってしまって）結論が出せない状態になること」で使う人が37.3パーセントという結果が出ている。

Okay, I presume it's safe to drop this amendment then. I'm guessing that invisible hyphens could be added to any word.

You're right. I think the difference is the presence of two U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN in the second headword.

firefox and safari show these as 100% identical for me (i.e., I can do a CTRL-F 'find' for 朝鮮語 and it identifies both headwords).  i assume it is the 鮮 character that is supposed to be different?  what is the difference?  what are the JIS codes?

There appears to be some confusion here.

gg5: to the east
eij: 東寄りの針路をとる take an easterly course

I take this to mean "to the east" based on gg5 and nikk.  But then gg5 and eij offer "東寄りの風" as "easterly wind".  Normally, "easterly" means "to the east", but it's different when it comes to winds.  An "easterly wind" is not one that is blowing TO the east, but one that is blowing FROM the east.  So I think this may be a mistranslation on their part.  東寄り would actually mean "westerly" in the context of winds.

I agree it's quite compositional, as is 何軒か.
It does get over one hurdle I apply in that WWWJDIC's Text Glossing function would not handle it too well. As terms like this get removed I add them to a special glossing file, but down the track we perhaps should have a "B team" category of entries which are obvious but useful.
Others possibly for the chop: 何日か, 何度か, 何人か, 何者か(?), 何回か, but NOT 何時か or 何故か

Speakers are going to have to learn rules.  In Japanese, after an 'n' sound, an 'h' sound usually becomes 'b' or 'p'.  It's not the job of a dictionary to contain an entry for everything that can be produced by a rule.  An entry has to be idiomatic and stand on its own.  I don't think this does (there's nothing to set it apart from the scores of other possible 何〜か entries), and I still don't think this should be an entry.  Similar as we have done for other entries, I have added a note to the entry for -本 w.r.t. pronunciation.

The point is well understood. You could indeed delete all the existing entries of "何Xか=some" from the dictionary and just enter something to help the searcher to find a global entry which worked for all examples. However, my point is that it is more often the reading which causes the problem.

I think that the problem is the word "dictionary" and the concept that if an entry is not in another major dictionary then it should not be in your dictionary. If the great OED had worked on that basis it would not have reached 20+volumns nor over half a million words of all sort with all types of expanatory notes.

It is of course your dictionary and your views must remain, however, I would not wish to box myself in by making sure that an entry had to be in another dictionary or even that a word or expression is not fit to be in a tool which is defined as "a dictionary".

However, I am always grateful to discover in your dictionary many entries; which entries, based upon such exclusive criteria, should never have been included or should now be deleted. For me the criteria for such a tool which you have created should be simple: would this entry help someone who seeks to understand something about the Japanese language? Naturally, degrees of common sense come into play; as always.

何Xか=some (...things), where X becomes a counter could be used for every single counter.  This is the result of a hyper-productive rule and should not be an entry, IMO.

Just an added note of support for inclusion.

I have just come across the following in the main dictionary:-

何者か 【なにものか】 (n) someone

Your [A] link helps with meaning. Google hits are in abundance, its meaning is basic; but if it was in your dictionary the researcher could also find the reading. You have a good variety for the options on "何"　with additions, but I could not find this one.

The sentence which I was reading was basic, namely: "チッコレートを何本か出した。" The meaning is clear. The Japanese speaker would not hesitate over how the speak it. The novice may pick it up in a text book, if the entry could be found with ease. As for me, your site is the ideal place to remove the doubts which may exist.

not sure it's 'archaic'.  nikk's oldest example sentence is from 1856.

I really wonder how useful this is. Searching for 曲放り gets 120 hits; mostly false as they consist of 曲 followed by 放り込む/放り投げる/etc. 曲放 gets 6k hits, but most are from terms like 双曲放物面 (which I have just added.)
I suspect this may be simply too obscure to record.

@@ -13,0 +13,1 @@

nikk

I guess it should be 曲放り outside of nikk but since I can't 
find it outside of nikk, and google isn't all that helpful...

Yes, I don't believe it should be an entry.

I believe what you're looking for are these:
物【もん】(3) (uk) used to express emotional involvement
な(1) (sentence end, mainly masc.) indicates emotion or emphasis
So, it's just saying "this is terrible/awful/harsh/cruel" (whatever 酷い sense/gloss is appropriate to the context), with もん and な adding feeling/emphasis.

I am not quite sure about how to tackle this one. The above is the reading from the text. It gets a good measure of Google hits.

In a sense what I am looking for in your dictionary is something similar to the entry for:-

め 《奴》 (suf) (1) (uk) derogatory suffix (referring to others) (e.g. "damn; damned fool"); (2) humble suffix (referring to oneself)

This gives a specific meaning for a sentence-ending suffix where a sound is used, which at first thought may be related to "目". However, your site removes the doubt. For example in a text which may read, "ガツガツ食いしん"ぼうめ," one gets the right meaning from searching your site, i.e., ending up with the derogatory nature intended as apposed to thinking about some form counter or the like.

Now, with regard to this submission, if there were an entry for "もん" as a suffix in much the same way as "め"　one could reach a conclusion related to "ひどい"　or whatever else preceded "もん". If the entry also requires "な" to make sense, then that could be added. However, the only entry which one has which may fit as a clue is:-

問 【もん】 (suf,ctr) counter for questions; (P)

However, we are not looking for a counter, but the concept of a question may fit the bill.

If one goes to your combined dictionary one gets the following:-

ひどいもんだ I ask you; WI1

Now one is wondering. What originally seemed like a text with a questioning ending, now seems that it could have idiomatic concepts which are not easy to find. Maybe, by including the simple questioning meaning for the sentence ending suffix "もん" you could resolve this doubting.
