| Comment | i guess some decision needs to be made about this, to bring it into line with the following:
手 【て】 (n) (1) hand; arm; (2) (See お手) (col) forepaw; foreleg; (3) handle; (4) hand; worker; help; (5) trouble; care; effort; (6) means; way; trick; move; technique; workmanship; (7) hand; handwriting; (8) kind; type; sort; (9) (See 手に入る) one's hands; one's possession; (10) 手に余る; ability to cope; (11) hand (of cards); (P) [Ex][G][GI][S][A][W] if 手 is often pronounced た as a prefix in compounds, and 手[た] doesn't have its own entry, does 上[うわ] need its own entry? or should 手[た] be given an entry? or should they both just be mentioned as "also pronounced ... as a prefix" in the master entry? |

WRT 手, I'm not convinced that a change is needed. Koujien has three
entries: て, しゅ and た. I think しゅ is plain onyomi usage. For た,
Koujien says: 「て」の古形. I can't find a solo usage of 手/た. Maybe a note
like "occ. pronounced た when a prefix".
For 上/うわ, there are solo cases, e.g. 上の空/うわのそら. |

日本でもGHQの指示に基づき、1946年に最初の女性警察官採用が行われた。当時の名称は婦人警察官（ふじんけいさつかん、略して婦人警官あるいは婦警）であり、逮捕権限を持たなかった。日本でも2000年の男女雇用機会均等法全面改正に伴い、従来の婦人警察官（婦警）という呼称から現在の女性警察官に改められた。 |
