(headw1) 寄せ
(kana1) よせ
(pos1) n
(comment) 寄せ 【よせ】 (n,n-suf) last moves (in go, shogi, or chess); endgame
This rendering/description really falls short of the mark. For me, any kind of よせ compound has the feeling of "gathering, collecting, coming together (usually without planning or organization"). Damn! I AM BRILLIANT!!

(headw1) 淵
(kana1) ふち
(pos1) n
(comment) 淵 【ふち】 (n) deep pool; abyss; the depths Further articulation is in order here, especially given its prefix/base component part function as "えん":
海淵 【かいえん】 (n) ocean depths [G][GI][S][A]
深淵 【しんえん】 (n) abyss; ravine [G][GI][S][A]
淵源 【えんげん】 (n,vs) origin [V][G][GI][S][A]
淵叢 【えんそう】 (n) gathering spot; center; centre
Interesting sidelight: when an American business wants to appear "classy", they spell center as "centre". I personally have nothing but contempt for such bastardization of the "President's English" by a colony of ingrates. "Viva El Presidente"!

(headw1) 別れ別れになる
(kana1) わかれわかれになる
(pos1) exp
(pos2) v5r
(english1) to separate (of people)
(english2) to part
(comment) Note that there is an entry for 別れ別れに which but not 別れ別れ. This common phrase is probably best understood as 別れ別れ + になる rather than 別れ別れに + なる so either a 別れ別れ entry or a 別れ別れになる entry* would seem to be required.
* e.g. this.

(headw1) 積み上げ
(kana1) つみあげ
(pos1) n
(comment) 積み上げ 【つみあげ】 (n) pile up; make a heap; lay bricks
Could we have some confusion here?
積み上げる 【つみあげる】 (v1,vt) to pile up; to make a heap; to lay bricks

(headw1) 山盛り
(kana1) やまもり
(pos1) n
(comment) 山盛り 【やまもり】 (n) a heap
Can this be better classified? A heap of what? Kind of sounds like a buffet, given: 盛り 【もり】 (n) helping; serving.

Hmm. It seems there's an error, as the definition clearly contains verbs, yet the word is defined as a noun. Is it perhaps a mislabeled する noun?
