(headw1) 大目に見る
(kana1) おおめにみる
(pos1) n
(comment) Interestingly enough there are no links to variant forms of a word, eg "tolerate" --> toleration --> intolerable, basically no "linking"
我慢 (がまん) is used most commonly for "tolerate" or "endure"; whereas 辛抱 is routinely used in conversation for "wait a moment" or "be patient"
My only argument is that many of these translations are teeming with so many irrelevant, discordant and seldom used nuance "defintitions". In short they do not get at the kernel of meaning as per the 漢字 or what I like to call the "core etymological meaning". In sum, the following confuse the beginner:
1) lack of links among word forms
2) no core etymological meaning
