(headw1)	イッカク
(pos1)	n
(english1)	(see 一角) narwhal
(english2)	TempSUB
(comment)	一角(いっかく) already has an entry with a 'narwhal' gloss.  Could add katakana to that one, but I don't think you need this.

(headw1)	授かる
(kana1)	さずかる
(pos1)	n
(comment)	授かる 【さずかる】 (v5r,vt) to be gifted; to be awarded
"to be gifted" is flat-out wrong and mis-leading. Suggest you euthenize it immediately. also "to be awarded" could be supplemented with "to be given an award". Hope dis helps

(headw1)	欲張り
(kana1)	よくばり
(pos1)	n
(comment)	欲張り(P); 欲ばり 【よくばり】 (adj-na,n) avarice; covetousness; greed
Don't see 欲張り兄さん in the list, nor the very common 欲張り兄ちゃん for "dirty old man". But, then, in the evening Japanese "salay man" likes a touch of humor. Yeh, I kind of keep 'em laughin

(headw1)	貪食
(kana1)	どんしょく
(pos1)	n
(comment)	貪食 【どんしょく】 (n,vs) voracity; ravenousness 
Totally Wrong Rendering: should instead be "englobement"
I give you as a respected source: http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=%E6%C3%90H&word_in2=%82%A9%82%AB%82%AD%82%AF%82%B1&word_in3=PVawEWi72JXCKoa0Je
Actually, I would go with "ravenous appetite" or "voracious appetite" as addenda.
