Sorry but I really don't think it's opaque. It has one meaning and can be added to all sorts of things. If we had an entry for everything it could be added to there'd be thousands.

Yes, the kokugos split.

Shinmeikai puts it succinctly:

(一) 死者の魂。
(二) 幽霊。

I don't agree on lumping these all together. The kokugos 
split into two senses, the first of a dead person's soul, and 
then a ghost. Culturally, there's certainly a difference 
between the two:—with a soul being the spiritual essence 
of the material body having become unbound, and a ghost 
the manifestation of the dead. I personally view the former 
as religious and the latter as folk belief, though of course 
in actual usage the distinction might be muddled.

Thanks. I'll close this now.

The term "dietary veganism" is used to differentiate people who merely follow a vegan diet from those who avoid animal products altogether. In other words, it specifically excludes ethical veganism. 絶対菜食主義 does not; it was coined as a translation for "veganism", which is often (or usually) assumed to mean "ethical veganism" because most self-described vegans avoid animal products such as leather.
I don't think dietary veganism should be a gloss, and I probably shouldn't have added it to 2840311.

Google English n-grams:

A small issue with glosses which are almost unknown in English.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/veganism -> "the practice of not eating or using any animal products, such as meat, fish, eggs, cheese, or leather"

This Japanese word specifically refers to eating. English dictionaries, when defining "veganism" either define it as the Cambridge Dictionary did above, or present two senses: (1) not eating animal products; (2) lifestyle centered around not using animals. In any of those cases, it makes this entry either incorrect or ambiguous, at best. I simply don't understand what value is lost by adding "dietary" in front of this gloss.

How is it "technically erroneous" or a "misconception"? "veganism" isn't a technical term. who decides what veganism refers to? a group 
called "the vegan society", the person who first coined the word, or English speakers in general?
I agree "dietary" is distracting.

a British lawyer who gives legal advice and prepares legal documents

EOW etc. translates this as solicitor, which of course is not a role in the Japanese legal profession.  
So it is just a matter of deciding which country's "solicitor" it refers to.

"事務" makes it fairly clear its the non-American type.  Bond's assessment seems correct.

by itself is enough. (same goes for the

Not sure. We don't tag the 弁護士 entry that way. 医者 isn't tagged "med".

"A snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved a sufficient size, and may have amalgamated with others, then falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow"

Isn't all snow crystallised? I don't think we need that gloss.
"Snowflake" is valid here. It can refer to an individual crystal or a clump of them. Japanese has a separate term for the latter (雪片).

G n-gram says "醇な 11408", but all hits of 醇な in BCCWJ are in compounds like 芳醇な, 濃醇な, etc., hence "obs"

I think this has been dormant long enough. It can be reopened if a suitable translation is available.

I've glanced at this, but I haven't found the pages where it's used much help. It's in some song lyrics and I found a site saying it's "slander competition".
If no-one contributes a plausible meaning or two in the next couple of days, I'll remove it.
