| Comment | changed from ~0.5 to 0.6 kg. Wikipedia states that 1 monme was specified as 3.75 grams in the Meiji era, therefore 1 kin = 160 monme = exactly 600 grams.
The same unit is still used with varying definitions across East Asia but as this is a Japanese dictionary, we should go with the Japanese definition as it has been for over 140 years. |

| Reading 1 | うんえいかんりかん |

| Comment | You already have 国連開発計画 in the records.
The above submission was found in the context of 国連開発計画の運営官理官. The actual title in English is The administrator of the United Nations Development Programme. I suppose that another translation may be 'An official controller of operational management'. I did wonder if the entire string would be appropriate as it is the United Nations, but presumably one has to stop somewhere. |

| Comment | Your records show a reference to 若き as わかき as related to young, but I cannot find that reading in my own searches [limited by inexperience, I accept]. The only reference which I can find with 若 followed by き is しき which I understand means to equal or to compare with. So that is why I wondered if the meaning of the above sumbission was more like 'a day which compares [equals]'. In the context that would match, but the person who belonged to (the bright fresh) comparative day was also young [I hope that makes sense]. However, Google search shows many entries and the Google translator simply says 'young' for my submission. |

| Editorial Comment | 若き日 simply means "younger days", "youth", etc. Look it up in Eijiro (ALC). And the reading *is* わかき, as confirmed by many dictionaries. |
