Hmmm. Could add "esp. young girls", or leave it. I think we can leave it.

I asked my teacher, 
she also said it's 
mostly elementary 
school girls who use 
it.

Young guys use it too

A Japanese friend of mine says only girls use sense 6. Can anyone confirm?

I'll close this now as it's not had any responses.

closing.  can be raised on the mailing list if needed

i mean our other option is to nuke the majority of these の entries altogether and just expect readers to know that が may be replaced by の when used prenominally

Xのadjい expressions are always prenominal. Only in relative clauses can が can be replaced with の.
The issue is that we have nothing on these entries to indicate that. The glosses and PoS tags on 住み心地が良い and 住み心地の良い are the same.

住み心地のよい	6594
住み心地のよかった	88
住み心地のよくない	23
住み心地がよい	692   <- not an entry
住み心地がよかった	215
住み心地がよくない	98

I agree that the Xのadjい are usually prenominal and inflect far less often than their equivalent Xがadjい brethren, but I think that where possible this should be reflected in their respective translations. Phrases like these ending in an adjective are more likely to be prenominal or sentence-ending. It's probably more a grammar point than something that should be tagged.
I'll close this for now to shorten the list.

i could be wrong, but if memory serves, i think we used [exp,adj-f] for these at one point, or at least the argument has been raised before.  the problem is that the inflection isn't handled correctly. i guess we could call them [exp,adj-f,adj-i] but it seems excessive

dunno what to do but i agree that it would be better if we could indicate that all of these are used prenominally

i feel like oni should not lead that entry, or if it does, the other glosses should be dropped and an [expl] gloss should be added.

We usually do a short disambiguation within brackets just for the first gloss even when there's several glosses. If it looked as if it was a 
wild card in hanafuda and a storm card in something else to you, I think it must have been the additional brackets on the 3rd gloss that was 
throwing you off. I don't think that information belongs in a note, unless we decide that's how we want to format all of our entries. 

And again, info on the English gloss isn't what we'd usually put inside brackets. I think it'd be good if we could come up with another way 
of relaying this type of information other than stuffing it inside brackets, because just stuffing all types of things inside them makes for 
confusion.

If sense 1 is always hanafuda I think we have to say so. It looked like it was a wildcard in hanafuda and a storm card in something else.. Since "gaji" is not a regular English term, some extra information is realy needed.

We could have a separate entry for 時間を取られる but I don't think "to take up (someone's) time" would work as a gloss. The subject is the person whose time is taken up, not the activity which takes up the time. It literally means "to have (one's) time taken up".

A good point from Robin. The 3 Tanaka examples are in fact for とらせる/とられる. I think this needs to be recorded in some way. We could:
- have an entry for 時間を取られる/時間をとられる (to take up (someone's) time)
- have an extra sense here with a note about it being とらせる/とられる.
I suspect an additional entry might be best.

I'm prepared to wave this through, but it is VERY marginal. 氛 is virtually unused in Japanese; I think it only got into the JIS 208 standard because it appeared in a place name. The only reference I can find for a word is the New Nelson, where John Haig says it can be used in ふんいき (雰囲気) instead of the usual 雰.
Nicolas, looking for words that use really obscure kanji is a waste of time (yours and ours) which could better be spent identifying and entering more recent and useful words. I'm only accepting this because of the 日本国語大辞典 entry. Don't take it as an encouragement to pursue this approach.

I saw 氛 as a 
suggestion in my IME, 
noticed JMdict had no 
words using this 
kanji and looked it 
up on Kotobank. 
That's how I found 
these terms.

I'm not opposed in principle to adding archaic terms here, but if a word is so obscure that even the most comprehensive kokugo dictionaries ignore it, I think we need a higher threshold. There's no end to the number of obscure archaic words you can find by sifting through dictionaries and kanbun texts. The overwhelming majority of them will be of no use to anyone (probably never looked up once). However, stumbling across an old word while reading Japanese literature might be a good reason for adding it. I'd be interested to know how Nicolas found this one.
Without JE dictionaries to refer to, it can be quite challenging (and time consuming) to come up with good, accurate translations for these words. It's probably not the best use of our time to be reviewing them unless there's a reason to believe they could be helpful.
I don't want us to be a situation where we have a constant backlog of super obscure archaic words in the pending submissions queue.

Maybe we need to decide if we maybe want to draw the line somewhere. For example, do we really need/want Old Japanese (上代日
本語) in jmdict? Since the nikk usage was from 796 this particular word would qualify as Early Middle Japanese (中古日本語, 
794-1185), though.

nikkoku, kanjigen

resubmitting entry from Nicholas that was rejected.

IMO, something being archaic/obscure is no reason for it to be rejected as long as there are solid kokugo references for it.  that's why the [arch] tag exists (now added)

nikk: "わざわいをおよぼす気。悪気。妖気。"
kanjigen: "よくないことがおこりそうなあやしい気配。ぶきみな雰囲気"

Those glosses weren't right. The 悪気 in the nikk definition is あっき, not わるぎ. Kanjigen redirects to 妖気.
This is part of the reason I feel we're wasting our time with entries like this. Writing glosses is not a trivial task. Our efforts are better spent on words that people are actually going to see. Like 氛氳, this probably doesn't exist outside of kanbun.

the reason i started working on edict in the first place was because i was translating some akutagawa & soseki stuff and i could not find a japanese-english dictionary that had some of the old words i was finding.  i was using kokugos to make my own list of translated words and then i discovered that i could share them by submitting to edict

IMO, the archaic stuff is exactly where edict excels over GG5.  so i would prefer to allow in archaic words so long as they are backed up by solid kokugo references and marked as [arch]

(a) I don't think a merge with しまことば is appropriate
(b) my take on sense 2. Feel free to change
(c) I'm not at all sure of the alignment of kanji and kana forms, esp. whether シマクトゥバ is really "nokanji".
I'll approve and reopen to get this moving.

I think I probably agree about the hiragana; I'm not sure about the merge.  To me, this seems sufficiently different from daijs's gloss for 島言葉[しまことば] to warrant its own entry.  At a minimum, a merge would require clumsy explanatory notes.

Sense 2 is the more interesting, less obvious one to me, so I don't know that it should go.  (Although I have no idea how commonly it is used.)  I mainly just wanted feedback on the translation because I'm not sure what 標準沖縄語に対して新造された語 means in this context.  Newly constructed words (i.e., neologisms)?  Newer dialects?  To me the main case for deleting sense 2 would be that I'm not entirely sure how best to translate it and I wouldn't want to provide an incorrect gloss.

シマクトゥバ	496
しまくとぅば	1412

I think this could be merged with the しまことば entry, maybe as a note: "also as シマクトゥバ in ref. to Okinawa". I think 
"island language/dialect" is an OK gloss for シマクトゥバ just as with しまことば. I don't think the 2nd sense is really 
needed, it seems overly granular and sufficiently covered by "island language".

We usually include hiragana readings for okinawan words too (based on daijs doing it) - in the case of this particular 
word, hiragana alsoseems more common than the katakana.

I'm not sure I rhink "theatrical c

rime" is a good translation. It's 
certainly not a common expression in 
English and the meaning seems different 
from the dictionary definitions.

Typically borderline, but essentially these sorts of entries are harmless, and if one or more editors think it's worth having, I won't block it.
