(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	ガルソンヌ
(kana1)	ガルソンヌ
(pos)	noun
(english1)	Boyish girl
(reference)	Garçonne is a french word meaning "boyish girl", it oftens refers to a haircut (short hair, like a boy traditionally) or to a way of being (like Yoshizawa in the Morning Musume band).
(comment)	The problem is that you put ガルソンヌ meaning "boy", from the french Garçonne. This is incorrect, as the french word for boy is Garçon (ガルソン). "Garçonne" is a feminine form of "Garçon", and so means "boyish kind of girl". Being french myself, this is clear for me, but I understand this could be confusing to a non-franch native. Thanks for your attention.
