"thousand-stitch cloth" and then an explanatory gloss, so I think that's an approach we can take.

I'll close this and propose a separate 當てる entry. We can discuss it further there, if needed.

came across it now completely by chance in a different book from 1888
https://dl.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/861407　(page 12 here)
"...八枚配り當てられたら者をして八枚の牌を並べて..."

It's not in the kokugos, so I'm wary of it. That use seems only to be sense 3. Since we put 宛てる/充てる/中てる into separate entries, maybe do the same with 當てる, with an xref to sense 3 here.

saw 當てる in a 1952 book: "...鼻の先に指を當てても通じる" (well known sign for hanafuda, putting your finger to your nose).
but not in daij, nikk. and my windows IME doesn't want to bring it up either.

https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Haramaki_(armour) : "Haramaki refers to any Japanese armour which is put on from the front and then fastened in the back with cords. "

As a point of style we try and avoid "type of" glosses.  See if you can come up with a more descriptive gloss.

GG5 just says "a breast protector."
No more, no less.
Other sources, such as the ones I cited, give greater descriptions and show pictures.

…which clearly show that it is obviously NOT a breast protector.
As the 巻 in the name suggests, it goes all the way around the body. It also covers all the way from the chest, down to the thighs. (it's difference from other Japanese armours, being where it opens to allow for being able to put it on and off)
How could such an armour, possibly be referred to as a mere "breast protector"? (which would be an acceptable description of a mere breastplate or equivalent. So okay for haraate　[腹当], perhaps, but not for haramaki)

How does what GG5 says, trump what all the other sources say? (which are mainly jp-jp dictionaries, encyclopedias, sites concerning historical armour and such sources, which should surely be regarded as far more reliable?)

Oh, and BTW:
Though 腹巻 can refer to the torso protection, it is also often used to refer to the whole suit of armour worn with it, (so including the shoulder protection, helmet, and everything else)
The same being true of the other types as well, such as doumaru, oyoroi, and so on.

Also, you cite "GG5, etc."

The "bellybands" were traditionally made of cotton. Woollen ones, have become a thing in more modern times, but cotton ones haven't gone away, by any means. I wouldn't be surprised at further materials as well (why not?), but I didn't bother checking.

The armour is clearly not "abdomen" armour.
It covers the torso. In roughly the same way and with roughly the same coverage, as other old Japanese torso armours. (there are significant differences, of course, but…)
So not only including the back, and not just the abdomen (which is just the front. Just the belly), but also further up to cover the chest (not necessarily all the way up, but that's not unusual for Japanese armour), as well as bits that do down as far as to, at least partially, cover the thighs.
(looked into this when I encountered the, thankfully already removed, definition of "breast-protector" from rikaichan)

MOFA Website -> Brunei Darussalam

I preferred it the way it was, especially as that's more like the version on the MOFA site. I have seen "Darussalam" used in English, and I've never seen "Abode of Peace" used.
BTW, the English (and some Japanese) name versions on that MOFA site are rather inconsistent, e.g. 
ケニア共和国 - Republic of Kenya (OK)
スイス連邦 - Swiss Confederation (OK)
ドイツ連邦共和国 Federal Republic of Germany (OK)
but
オーストラリア連邦 Australia (Nope. It's "Commonwealth of Australia")

+<gloss>the four ways of birth (from a womb, an egg, moisture or spontaneously)</gloss>

daijs

The kokugos actually have separate entries for the four in a Buddhist context, with 「-生」 read as 「しょう」. 
The meanings seem to be mostly the same, but with 「湿生」 related to moisture and 「化生」 as more of a 
spontaneous birth (same as gg5).

Also, while the glosses are mostly how gg5 and DDB approach them, scientific terms are strange fits for 
religious classifications (the fourth one especially is supernatural). "Hydrarch" is an obscure term that 
seems to do with ecological succession. Here's how I would do it, but I don't mind ceding to gg5 if you feel 
it's better.

Is an outsider very likely to come across this word, though? I think we have plenty of entries that are more complex and less generally

Reopen.
