https://www.dictionary.com/browse/waning-moon
the moon at any time after full moon and before new moon (so called because its illuminated area is decreasing).

harmonize with 下弦. See comments on 下弦, and eventually on 弦月.

This cannot be "waning moon".  A waning moon is the entire period between the full moon and the next new moon. 下弦 is a half moon (and even in the best case, as a bow with a string that you could maybe imagine as being a less-than-half-moon, it couldn't possibly exceed 1/2). 

This is a very old "bad" gloss, and has been the source of a lot of (I would argue) bad example sentences in the wild.

https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/waning+moon
This seems closer to "waning moon" 欠けた月

Image search will give you results with all kinds of percentages of moon visible, the restriction being that it is getting darker.  

Search for 下弦の月 and you'll get half-moons.

I've proposed 何か月か and 何か月も entries.

I'd forgotten the discussion on 何人/ なんにん. This is a related issue with も/か, and indeed all the examples I was seeing are one of those. Yes, having separate 何か月か and 何か月も entries is the way to go.
I'll leave this open until they are created and the sentences relinked.
It is 中辞典 which has the question marks. Both it and GG5 have the "how long" gloss.

I don't think we should have a second sense. See the discussion on 何人 (1189100). We could create entries for 何か月か and 何か月も.
We don't include question marks on glosses for 何[counter] terms. GG5 doesn't either. I don't like "how long". 
The ヶ月 x-ref seems unnecessary.
I'm very sceptical about those n-gram counts. Hard to believe that 何ヶ月 is so much more common than all the other forms. Certainly doesn't appear that way in web results or on Twitter.
I think we should have at least one visible form for ケ, カ and か.

All 12 Tanaka sentences use this to mean several/many months The JEs have examples such as:

何か月も入院するんですか. それは大変ですね. You'll be in the hospital for months? That's awful.
何か月でも好きなだけ私の所にいていいですよ. You can stay at my place for as long as you like, months even.

The "bow" moons, 弦 and 引 invoke the image of a bow with a taught bowstring

Here's a picture showing that imagery:
https://weathernews.jp/s/topics/202005/260335/

Here's a reference specifically for 弦月 as "half-moon", which includes 上弦 and 下弦 as well as 弓張り月 listed as an explicit synonym.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/弦月
Appears to be a learned borrowing from Chinese 弦月 (xiányuè). First cited in a Japanese text in 1698.[1] May have been in use prior to this, considering that partial synonyms 上弦 (jōgen) and 下弦 (kagen) are attested already in the late 800s.[2][3]
弦げん月げつ • (gengetsu) ←げんげつ (gengetu)?
[from 1698] half-moon 
Synonym: 弓張り月 (yumiharizuki)

This is the first of many moon edits. Lots of apparent issues with half-moons and crescent-moons.  (Note, this term on it's own is not super-common compared to 下弦　and 上弦）。

There are so many mismarked crescent-moons that I was starting to wonder if the Japanese thought 半月 included crescents... (I believe they do not)

弦月 is apparently tied up in a popular anime character which breaks the image search. try 上弦の月 and 下弦の月 instead.

Here's another a site with diagrams specifically using various formulations of 弦月
https://tukihosi-tan.com/moon/2004/

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/弦月
弦月（げんげつ）は、半月（はんげつ）の文学的な表現である
Wikipedia xref for 弦月 is English "Half Moon".
In moon phases:
新月（朔。0°=0）
上弦（90°=7）
満月（望。180°=14）
下弦（270°=21）
半月（弦。上弦と下弦の総称） (半月 is a generic name for the waxing and waning half-moons)

nikk: either the waxing half-moon, the waning half-moon, or 弓張り月 (also a half-moon)
げん‐げつ【弦月】
〘名〙 上弦または下弦の月。ゆみはりづき。彎月(わんげつ)。

Another ref, straight to 半月:
https://kotobank.jp/word/弦月-491742
普及版 字通 「弦月」の読み・字形・画数・意味
【弦月】げんげつ
半月。
字通「弦」の項目を見る。

Since 半月 means 15 days/half-a-month, the ngrams crush this.  But I get the impression that this term in particular is common when talking about lunar cycles specifically. (I am sure 半月 is readily comprehensible though, perhaps moreso).


https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/弦月
英語でも、日本語での半月同様、一般的には half moon（または half-moon）というが、月相に基づく天文学用語としては quarter moon という。上弦の月は first quarter moon で、下弦の月は last quarter moon （または third quarter moon）である。

I'm sure the glosses will need more massaging.

I don't know a lot about swords, but I don't think that tempering makes them look any sharper... (so I looked into this)

daijs: 切れない刀にはがねの焼き刃をつけ足したもの

kokugos explain that a *separate* sharpened steel blade is attached to a dull and/or chipped sword as an emergency measure (and not, as I had surmised from the old gloss, as some sort of sneaky fraud).  The 付け焼刃 is the accessory blade (はがねの焼け刃), not the sword at all. The cheap steel does not have the ruggedness of the original blade, and while it may work for a short bit in battle, it will dull and/or fail(peel off entirely) in short order.

Not so much that the stop-gap is completely ineffective, more-so that its limited effect is short-lived. See the very good imidas description, for example:
一時は切り抜けられるが、すぐにぼろを出すことをいう。

See these related kotowaza (might be worth adding the first one):
A tukeyakiba is easily pealed (off)  (this expression confirms the kokukos that explain that an additional steel blade has been attached)
付け焼き刃は剥げやすい plenty on twitter (付け焼き刃は剥げ易い) (a few on twitter with 易い)
A tukeyakiba is easily dulled
付け焼き刃はなまり易い つけやきばはなまりやすい　(on twitter, less common than the other expression)

Internet suggests some overlap between this term and 一夜漬け. (I would say that 付け焼刃 is the result of 一夜漬け )。In fact, check out this grouped gloss:

You'll all be pretty annoyed if you decide this really is a "crescent moon".  But I am reasonbly-ish confident.

Not saying everyone completely understands the names of all of the phases of the moon, or that poor automated E->J translations haven't manufacture a small amount of "evidence" that this includes crescents, but a google image search is pretty overwhelmingly half-moons, and here's one more reference as a sanity check:

甘夏は夏みかんよりも酸味が抜けるのが早いため、2月〜6月ごろと少し時期が早めです。

See comments on 甘夏柑.  "Amanatsu" seems generally capitalized on google results. in our 八朔 entry "Hassaku" is capitalized.  I am not certain of the rationale.(was lowercase when I got here.  If that was correct, maybe Hassaku should be changed)

This is a common orange in grocery stores right now (and for the last two months or so, as the hassaku are disappearing), with these specific kanji (vs. other forms).  It seems odd to have a [food] tag, and be unable to use it on fruits and vegetables.  I'm not sure what the motivation is there.

I don't think the [expl] is so necessary regardless. But "Chinese citron" is only slightly more meaningful than "watson pomelo".  This isn't really adding information.  Possibly of interest is that we will have 6 terms all identified as "Citrus natsudaidai", so it might be worth noting that the　甘い half of the terms are less-sour than the non-甘い half., and that they are available in different seasons. But as I noted in the opening, that's probably not entirely true colloquially. (I say less-sour, and not "sweet", because I've eaten them. I definitely found the name to be misleading, but now I see it is the 甘い version of something that is *truly* sour).

Vote delete, curious what references back this up.  There are some kotowaza dictionaries that list this as 類語 for 九牛一毛, but nothing I could find where this was a top-level entry. 

Instead of this, actually common on twitter, but not in kokukos or jmdict, the much simpler: 海の一滴.  But we wouldn't likely create an entry for that. Why this?
https://twitter.com/search?q=海の一滴&src=typed_query&f=live

蒼海一滴集 was the title of a single essay collection, and shows up in some searches.  Different kanji for 滄 though.

The [yoji] tag was removed in August as part of a cleanup.  If this was "real", I would think it would have been actually used as [yoji].

For comparison, this similar expression actually exists:
滄海の一粟	201

Another one we have that doesn't exist in any significant measure:

GG5: 〔政治的な〕

The JEs all just have "subversive activities", but I suspect they are being a bit 直訳.

reverso, mostly "sabotage":
https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/破壊工作

https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=sabotage
〈フランス語〉サボタージュ、妨害［破壊］工作◆経営者や戦時中の敵に損害を与えるために、工場などの建物や施設を故意に破壊すること。
〈フランス語〉〔意図的な〕妨害行為

1950s: 破壊工作統制局を設立して -> and established the Subversive Activities Control Board 

Had the flashcard in my anki deck 妨害工作: sabotage (which is fine, and about equally popular). Watching the new star trek today with forced Japanese subtitles, "sabotage", in the sense that some ship equipment was subversively destroyed with a phaser by someone on the crew, was translated more than once as 破壊工作.

Internet seems to confirm this is also sabotage. (Perhaps if we read the kanji literally, 破壊 necessarily involves physical destruction, 妨害 involves impeding by any means, possibly including physical destruction). 　Maybe not, eow.alc literally lists: 妨害［破壊］工作.

"subversive activities" seems to maybe be a dated gloss related to the translation of some specific bureaucratic structures in the 1950s. I wouldn't miss it if it was gone, it seems kind of odd to me here. *might* fit better on the soon-to-be-added 破壊活動: (活動 = activities...)

For example: Subversive Activities Prevention Act: 破壊活動防止法

キリスト教で、悪魔のこと。神の試練に堪えきれず下界に堕おとされた天使、特に、その首領ルシフェル。

nikk says:
キリスト教で、悪魔をいう語。神の怒りを買い、天上界から下界に堕落させられた天使。

To interpret nikk, Wikipedia says of 悪魔:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/悪魔
キリスト教神学では、神に対して謀反を起こした堕天使（サタン）の手先である。
In Christianity, 悪魔 are Satan's henchmen(one of our many glosses - demons).  So nikk isn't singling out Satan at all (as far as I can see).
And Satan is, of course, a *specific* 堕天使 (神に対して謀反を起こした堕天使). 


堕天使	194658	41.8%
ルシファー	68682	14.7%
サタン	202355	43.5%

Apart from the main comments below, if you do an image search for 堕天使, you'll quickly see that this has a "romantic" use in Japanese imagery that seems somewhat disjoint from actual Christianity.  堕天使, like 天使, seems like a fun concept to play with (like medieval knights) without being overly invested in any particular religious principles. In these cases, I think "fallen angel" alone still remains the best gloss. 

===
I got this term from jisho some years ago, and the gloss collection has always seemed off to me. I'm suggesting what I think is a "better" way to do this. 

My core motivation is that "fallen angel" is essentially a perfect 1-to-1 gloss.  If you want to translate "fallen angel" into Japanese, this term is perfect.  If you want to translate 堕天使 to English, "fallen angel" is perfect.  Everything other gloss that was here just muddies things up. (Lucifer <-> ルシファー, Satan <-> サタン, demon <-> 悪魔)

Almost every reverso gloss is "fallen angel". Why wouldn't it be? And where it isn't, it is never glossed as "Satan" or "Lucifer". 
https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/堕天使

daijs just says: "特に、その首領ルシフェル".  "Often refers to the head of the fallen angels, Satan" could be said just as easily of the English term "fallen Angel".  But context is always required.  You can never blindly change 堕天使 to "Lucifer" unless you understand the text.  If you understand the text, that's your prerogative.  If you don't understand the text, "fallen angel" is always safe. 

daijs' mention 特にルシファー is part of the *definition*, to provide information to a Japanese reader about the meaning of the term.  But that doesn't make ルシファー an appropriate gloss.

The number one pinned gloss for 堕天使 on weblio is "seducer".  Another on the page is "tempter".  I wouldn't suggest adding those either. 
https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/堕天使

For comparison, eow.alc.co.jp (usually pretty good) has exactly one gloss:
https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=堕天使
fallen angel

oft. and not esp. because:
1. I'm suspicious about "fallen angel" usually being a reference to Satan in the first place.  Growing up Catholic myself, "fallen angels" was usually plural. Satan has perfectly serviceable names of his own.
2. Based on google search, I think 堕天使 is extremely common in pop-culture to refer to something that is maybe satan-like, but not really part of Christianity.

[fld=Christn] is a little problematic , since there are fallen angels in other religions (Islam) as well.  The names of the specific figures differ.

3. Yet another meaning:
http://zokugo-dict.com/20to/torabaru.htm
トラバるとは俗語『とらばーゆする（トラバーユする）』を略したもので、女性が転職することを意味する。元のとらばーゆするはリクルート出版から出ている女性向け転職雑誌『とらばーゆ』に動詞化する接尾語の『する』をつけたものである。ちなみに『トラバーユ』とは仏語の"travail"で「仕事・労働」を意味するが、日本では雑誌名としての認知のほうが高いため「トラバる＝女性の転職」という意味で定着している。

When looking up sabotage for 破壊工作, wikipedia was an obvious place to check.  It had another term (this one).

This is the wikipedia headword/xref for "sabotage".  Double the ngrams of 破壊工作 and 妨害工作. reverso mostly gives "sabotage", also "destruction" and "vandalism" in some contexts.  Interestingly eow.alc.co.jp does not give "sabotage".  Seems like an oversight. You might have some other glosses you'd like, but I think it is probably appropriate for "sabotage" to be among them.
