At about 0.3 percent it might be best just to remove 円 - one less kanji headword that needs reading to distinguish it from another entry,.,

Current Entry汚れ [よごれ] /(n) dirt/filth/(P)/
Headword 1汚れ

Part-of-speechn
English 1dirt
English 2filth
CommentI note that the よごれ けがれ entries are separate but that よごれる and けがれる is combined into one entry. Looking at 大辞林 one pair doesn't seem that different to the other pair so I would suppose that they should either both be combined or both be separate.

汚れ 【よごれ】 (n) dirt; filth; (P)
汚れ; 穢れ 【けがれ】 (n) uncleanness; impurity; disgrace
汚れる(P); 穢れる 【よごれる(汚れる)(P); けがれる】 (v1,vi) to get dirty; to become dirty; (P)

Editorial Comment For きれっと, GG5 has: "【登山】 〔尾根にできた深い切れ込み〕 a gap."
I have added an entry: "きれっと;キレット /(n) gap (in a mountain ridge)/"
Add as a sense to 窓? (GG5 doesn't have it there..)

Comment"all dics keep this separate from the other もと. which
is probably good, because i think that one's about to
get complicated"

However it does mean that there will be one more pair of entries with ambiguous kanji/reading combinations. Creative use of indexing will be able to partially alleviate the situation but not entirely.

I am currently implementing a system for the _offline_ version of the examples collection which adds a number to disambiguate these but that won't directly have any impact on Jim's side.
