The text-glosser lawys had a problem with handling ます-stems. Early in the process they are picked up by the verb deconjugate function, and that was preempting entries which were already in that form. I now populate the glossing dictionary with composed ます-stems of all verbs, but I didn't twig that the deconjugater got in first. I have just made sure that if the ます-stem exist as an entry, the normal verb handling is disabled. I think it's now giving the result Hendrik wants.

Hi, is there any way to get the kind of information shown above also when using "Text Glossing"? Right now we get this, which is, of course, quite right but nevertheless misleading. ;-)

Possible inflected verb or adjective: (masu stem)
便る : 頼る(P); 便る 【たよる】 (v5r,vi) to rely on; to have recourse to; to depend on; (P); ED

OK.

A couple of my 漢和s have 11 strokes, but all the others have 12. The diagram I have on WWWJDIC has 12. I think I'll stick with 12.

This Kanji is registered with 12 strokes (御 [画数] 12) but it has actually only 11 strokes.
The strokes 9 and 10 in the current counting are indeed one only stroke.

Entry created

I can't find a source for ちゅうら.
Without an explanation, it isn't clear what relevance 清ら has to the entry. I don't think the x-ref is needed.
美ら and 美しい aren't etymologically related. I don't see a need for the 美しい x-ref.

Interesting.

Official usage of 美ら:
http://oki-churaumi.jp/
Contemporary manifestations of 清ら:

http://www.okitour.net/Column/sightseeing/kannkousisetu/00213/
http://i-uchina.com/emotional/post881/

Added a second xref.
Reason: Although 美ら is widely (and, as the first one of the cited websites shows, quite officially) used in Okinawa, i just heard from someone that etymologically the expression ちゅら (ちゅうら) derives from the same root as the old (obsolete?) Japanese 清ら 【きよら; けうら】, so i looked 清ら up on the web, and, yes, it is alive in Okinawa (the last cited reference gives a more detailed explanation)

Well, you probably know the old line that a language is a dialect with an army.
It's convenient to put 琉球語 and アイヌ語 in that category here.

a dictionary has to be able to assume that its users know basic grammar.  in this case, it is simply a+b+c: も+の+あいだ, where the も has been inserted for emphasis
===
it is a common construction and i see no reason to single out the ~あいだ for an entry

See below.

This was in the text which I was reading.　It gets some 700k of Google hits. It is covered in some online dictionaries, e.g., Weblio. You may consider promotion on the basis that a + b does not quite give the result which seems to be intended by idiomatic use.

Not sure it's that useful.

See below.

It was in the text which I was reading. It gets some 45k Google hits. It is basically a + b, but maybe it is worth promoting.

"League of the righteous samurai" gets zero google hits.  義盟 gets some hits (inc. ones on wikipedia that suggest that there may be some truth to the suggested gloss), however nothing solid enough for an entry.  real references are needed
