Headword 1検知用
Reading 1けんちよう
Part-of-speechn
English 1sensor
English 2detector
NameRoy Tanner
Submission Typenew
Editorial Comment This worries me. Adding 用 to 検知 would probably result in "for use as a detector" rather that the noun itself. Sensor is more concrete, e.g., 感知器 or 探知装置.

Commenti'm of the opinion that if there's a rule for 的 as a suffix, there should also be a rule for 用. can be applied to a huge number of nouns, and the reading and meaning are always the same.

Headword 1衆道

Part-of-speechn
English 1the Japanese tradition of age-structured homosexuality prevalent in samurai society from the medieval period until the end of the 19th century. The word is an abbreviation of wakashudo (若衆道), "the Way of the young" or more precisely, the Way of young (若 waka) men (衆 shu). The "do" (道) is related to the Chinese word tao, considered to be a path to awakening.

Current Entry一月 [いちがつ] /(n-adv) January/(P)/
Headword 1一月
Reading 1いちがつ
Part-of-speechn-adv
English 1January
Commentkojien agrees with paul

いち‐げつ【一月】
(2) 1年の初めの月。正月。いちがつ。

also, all of the 〜月 months should also be altered to include "first/second/third/... month of the lunisolar calendar"

plus, i'm not sure, but i would assume that there should be an "n" tag on this in addition to the "n-adv" tag
