| Comment | would like to recommend some kind of merge, or at least a correction to this entry.
the current situation is: 頭(P); 首 【あたま(頭)(P); かしら(頭)(P); かぶり(頭); ず(頭); こうべ】 (n) (1) (こうべ is used for hanging one's head, かぶり for shaking the head) head; (2) brains; intelligence; (P) 頭 【つむり】 (n) (1) (uk) (obsc) head; face; (2) fringe; front hair the first entry is not accurate, because only あたま can be "mind". suggest something like (adding other readings & senses from koj & daij): 頭,首 [あたま(頭),かしら(頭),かぶり(頭),こうべ(頭,首),ず(頭),つむり(頭),つぶり(頭),つむ(頭),かぶ(頭)(ok)] (1) head (2) (あたま only) mind brain intellect (3) (あたま,かしら only) top (4) (あたま,かしら only) hair (on one's head) (5) (つむり only) bangs fringe (6) (かしら only) top structural component of a kanji i'm not sure the little explanatory note is necessary. 頭(かぶり)を振る already has an entry. 頭(こうべ)を垂れる could be given one |

It's rather like Man, as in the Rudyard Kipling poem. > in any case, this might be handled simply by adding 漢 as > (iK) to the おとこ entry, or adding "sometimes written as > 漢 in manga" in an explanatory note There's a (m-sl) tag, that this should have - and 男(おとこ) shouldn't. Personally I think it's best kept separate to avoid confusion. |

| Comment | I am quite sure that "shortsightedness" will be misunderstood by many people, especially Americans for whom it means "lacking foresight" (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/shortsighted). Please add "myopia" as well as "nearsightedness" both of which are more clearly understood by a wider range of people. |

| Comment | Not saying that it is not used because it is, like 近眼, pretty easy to understand. Just saying that I can't find it elsewhere. Also, unlike 近眼 which transitions into 近眼鏡, 遠眼 seems to have no real utility since it does not transition nicely into 遠眼鏡, which I can only find in ALC (望遠眼鏡 telescopic(al) spectacles). With all due respects, I don't trust Eijiro for accuracy. In sum, if it were I, I would delete it as an entry. |
