| Editorial Comment | A lot of the recently-arrived "comp" entries will get low Google/Yahoo hits because they deal with things that are not current, and hence are unlikely to have many WWW references. Should they also get "obsc". I don't know. In this case it's probably OK, because the far more common term is インパクトプリンタ. |

Oh, and the dictionary says it's technically the disturbed noises one makes while having nightmares etc., rather than having nightmare itself. (Hence 悪夢にうなされる) |

| Headword 1 | 愛しき |
| Reading 1 | いとしき |
| Part-of-speech | adj-i |
| English 1 | dear |
| English 2 | TempSUB |
| Comment | Francis: This is not an uncommon word, but there's probably no need for this entry or for the vast majority of -しき/-き ending pre-nominal adjectives.
All i-adjectives that aren't neologisms are derived from either a classical -しき or -き pre-nominal form. (Through the same process that caused 聞きて, the classical -te form of 聞く to become 聞いて, etc.?) Japanese dictionaries deal with this by specifying which they come from right in the entry for the base adjective. Consult a dictionary, and you'll see for example: わか・い【若い・稚い】 わか・し(ク) (ク) indicates ク活用: く・く・し・き・けれ・○. (し is the classical dictionary form, also used when the adjective is in sentence-final position. き is the pre-nominal.) いとし・い いと・し(シク) (シク) indicates シク活用: しく・しく・し・しき・しけれ・○. (し is the classical dictionary form, also used when the adjective is in sentence-final position. しき is the pre-nominal.) |

{comp} is completely justified though. I've never seen this usage outside of 2ch and its various offspring. |

| Comment | one of the neologisms in question that has no シク活用 or ク活用. and there are issues with it.
"modern", "trendy", "hip", "in", etc. (a la the edict entry for ナウ: now; "in"; trendy) are probably better than "up-to-date", aren't they? also, i don't think the wasei tag should say "nowy". the イ sound in question comes from japanese -い, not english "-y". |

I'm not sure I agree with your change. The 'anchor' in question is probably from the hyperlink tag . And similarly they are clickable links. |

| Comment | The more I think about it the more I doubt that 活を入れる and 渇を入れる should be in the same entry. I think the latter is the same usage as in 一喝, and a significantly different meaning. |

| Editorial Comment |
The two examples of 渇を入れる in Eijiro (my copy - I can't find them on the ALC site) say: ■喝を入れる〔人に〕 : give someone a jolt ■自分に喝を入れる : stir oneself which is really the same as 活を入れる. |
