| Comment | This suggestion will perhaps be useless, but I believe I can feel いじいじ fairly well, as I do most Japanese whether I have heard/used it or not. いじいじ has a "slippery, dodgy, snake-like, spineless, sycophantic" feeling to it.
At present it stands rendered as "reserved; timid; servile; unable to be honest" which is OK but I think not so precise. Could use some help here from those who handle English better than I. |

Japanese Wikipedia まほろば：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahoroba Jonathon Delacour - the heart of things: ...But the real surprise is that the bonus DVD is titled まほろば (Mahoroba), a word I’d never heard of. I asked Natsuko what it meant but it was a mystery to her too. Nor could I find mahoroba in any of my Japanese-English dictionaries, print or electronic. Even more surprisingly, it was not listed in Jim Breen’s EDICT Japanese-English Dictionary file, which currently has approximately 106,000 entries. Yet a Google search in Japanese yields about 55,500 results whilst a search in English for its Romaji equivalent returns about 99,700 entries! http://weblog.delacour.net/archives/2003/10/mahoroba.php |
| Comment | Sorry, I sent the first one before completing all the entries.
まほら → まほらま → まほろば。 But まほろば is the most commonly used word now. GG5 has only まほろば. |

That caught out both my Wordtank (Kenkyusha) and Edict (and therefore me!) It's sufficiently different in meaning to what is usually encountered that I've concluded it rates a new entry. I was tempted to rate it as "obscure", but it's clearly a well established technical term. |

Removed. 潜ませた is an inflection of 潜む. I think "hidden" is pretty
pbvious from the meaning of 潜む. かずく, くぐる and もぐる can't be readings of 潜ませた. The latter too are already entries. Have you kanji for かずく? |
