Currently in Edict is 活性 【かっせい】 (n) active Should better be rendered "activity", I believe. BTW, I am a bit concerned that I have received no feedback, either agreement or disagreement, on submissions over the past several days. In short, do you wish this effort or not? |

酵素活性 is probably worth adding. Please do so.
活性 is indeed better as "activity". I explained to Dennis by email about the feedback happening here now. |

| Comment | Since this entry justifiably warrants a P marker, I believe it also deserves some clarification. I would submit that 生かす refers to the resuscitation of an individual and that 活かす refers to the resucitation of a career, for example, as in 学問を生かす, where the second reading predominates. Any suggestions here? |
| Name | Dennis |
| Submission Type | amend |
| Editorial Comment | All of my dictionaries, including 国語辞典, roll 生かす and 活かす into the one entry and do not distinguish between the written forms. As Paul Blay shows (see tomorrow's submissions), usage pattens of the two are similar. I'd need reasonably compelling corpora evidence to split them apart. |
