| Current Entry | 片鱗 [へんりん] /(n) only a portion/ |
| Headword 1 | 片鱗 |
| Reading 1 | へんりん |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | snapshot |
| English 2 | glimpse |
| Reference | http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=����D8&word_in2=a&word_in3=b |
| Comment | The definition edict currently gives, "only a portion", is not very useful. The one
given by ALC seems to make more sense, and fits better with usage examples, including the one edict provides. |

other things. "Duty" or "business" are not generic enough to cover those uses, but "role" is. |

| Reference | 大辞泉、大辞林、広辞苑 |
| Comment | There is nothing in the 大辞泉, 大辞林, nor the 広辞苑 that suggests this word connotes any boastful meaning. Further, in common conversational usage (esp. among the younger generation), it is simply a male first-person pronoun. It must also be noted that this word is still generally considered somewhat rough and thus should never be used in any formal situation. |
