広辞苑 splits them along the lines of "named candidate for post (by self or by recommendation)" vs "someone with the qualifications or potential to achieve some position or state".

well, i didn't fill out the 2nd sense entirely, because the remainder of the sense is "語調をととのえる", which in my opinion is what japanese dictionaries say when they don't know what something means koj: ＃(「深」とも当てる)美称または語調をととのえるために添える。「―吉野」「―雪」「―山」 daijr: （多く「深」と書く）主として和語の名詞や地名に付けて、美しいとほめたたえたり、語調を整えたりするのに用いられる。 daijs: （「美」「深」とも書く）主として和語の名詞や地名に付いて、褒めたたえたり、語調をととのえたりするのに用いる。「―山」「―雪」「―吉野」 |

| Comment | > たきぎ = any wood that you burn (whatever you can find and carry, i.e., branches and scraps)
> まき = wood that has specifically been prepared for this purpose (i.e., chopped and dried) That would appear to /have been/ the distinction, but I don't think it's followed consistently now. Although まき is 'made' but たきぎ is 'found' there are more web hits for まき集め than たきぎ集め. Similarly まき拾い has more hits than たきぎ拾い (even though the above link gives まき拾い as an example of 'something not said'). Finally, to the best of my memory, when collecting firewood is mentioned in anime the word used has always been まき. I suspect the people using たきぎ / まき correctly are the same sort of people who would use 'whom' correctly in English (e.g. in the minority). |

| Comment | a native speaker friend suggests:
"OK, so I didn't want to say this because it sounded retarded but takigi reminded me of takibi which is a bonfire of course but a smallish one, yeah? Like a cute little one, look up takibi in alc and you get a bonfire but look up bonfire and they have words that mean bigger fires. Or expressions I should say. As it turns out takigi comes from 焚き木 which is what you throw on your 焚き火 which is little, littler than a bonfire on which you might throw a maki or two. So I would guess yes, the former is thicker, but that is just a guess." |

| Comment | well, all of those pictures i provided were what popped up on the first pages of "薪" "たきぎ" and "薪" "まき" searches on google image. the results seem to demonstrate that the difference between the two is rather clear-cut, even if they're not fully aware of the differences between the words when they use them.

| Comment | i recommended splitting this entry a year or so ago, but i don't really care for it at all
browsing through google image hits, i see not a single picture of a black person, and i think it really pollutes this entry to have it here. and the meaning of 奴 itself is not nearly vulgar enough to be granted the status of the N-word. and with that gone, the meaning of 奴 is clear enough that this construction is unnecessary, and it's not idiomatic enough for an entry either. 白い奴 gets more hits, and 青い奴 gets more than half as many. i think we should just delete this entry and leave it at that although if you want the source for this entry, i can probably give it to you: the kodansha kanji learner's dictionary by jack halpern |
