| Comment | The current definition in edict is "appearance (e.g. article in paper)" and does not capture the -suru (transitive) usage of this word. Maybe additional entries should be made for keisai-suru, -sareru: "to insert or run (a picture or article in a newspaper or periodical)" |

I'd make "Watch out!" an (int) in a new sense. You don't really shout "Dangerous!" when somebody is about to be hit by a truck. "limping" probably refers to uncertain gait, which might fit under your sense 3 at a pinch. |

| Comment | i don't think this ever refers to a "maidservant".
here's the kanwa entry (since no kokugo dictionaries have it on its own): 1)｛名｝あね。女きょうだいのうちの年長者。▽文語では姉、口語では姐という。〈類義語〉→姉。 2)｛名｝［俗］女性の通称。また、女性の名の下につけて、親愛の意をこめて呼ぶことば。「小姐（おじょうさん）」［国］あね。ばくちうちの親分の妻や、親分はだの女性。「姐御」。 that was almost certainly a confused form of the third sense of this entry: 姉さん(P); 姐さん 【ねえさん】 (n) (1) (姉さん only) (hon) elder sister; (2) (vocative) young lady; (3) (usu. 姐さん) miss (referring to a waitress, etc.); (4) (usu. 姐さん) ma'am (used by geisha to refer to their superiors); (P) [Ex][G][GI][S][A] [G][GI][S][A] to the best of my knowledge, no one ever calls a waitress (etc.) just plain "あね", so "maidservant" should be wiped out in my opinion |
