| Comment | Question, not an amendment. Why is the reading of 大 here お and not elongated to おう? Humble hint: Many times the Japanese people themselves cannot tell if the "vowel" is long or short, often saying it makes no difference. Is that the case here? Hello, Paul. As a monkey, I just copy and speak the language but never before needed to analyze it. |

| Editorial Comment | The 大鋸/おが is a traditional large Japanese pit saw. See http://www.dougukan.jp/archive/eng/B23e.html for pictures and text. Since 鋸 is not read が, my guess is that the kanji were added later, and that it's a 義訓 reading. It is sometimes written おおが - GG5 and Koujien have cross-refs under おおが pointing to the regular おが. |

| Comment | I saw this in the submissions page. I was surprised that the two additional meanings I've added above were not there, so I looked at the WWW reference given for the word and found the top two meanings in that dictionary being a node in a stem of bamboo and a knot in wood. |
