Wouldn't "(succeeded by ...), (replaced by ...) or (reformed as ...) be more appropriate? |

| Part-of-speech | n,vs |
| English 1 | lease |
| Comment | I think we need some form of link to: 賃貸し 【ちんがし】 (n,vs) lease; rent; hire
Since I simply use "kasu and kariru", I can't comment on this beyond a confused question. Why do Yahoo, Goo and ALC recognize 賃貸し more than 賃貸 (ちんたい)? For what it's worth I think 賃貸し is much, much easier to understand. |

祓(はらえ)の式の節折(よおり)の儀で、天皇の身長を測る竹の一。 http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/薜合�� 一般的な料理では「花かつお」（はなかつお）とも呼ばれる「荒節」を削ったものを出汁によく使うが、高級料亭などは「枯節」を使うところが多い。 因みに「荒節」は一括表示では「かつお・ふし（原産国）」と称され「かつお削りぶし」の原料となる。 対する「枯節」は「かつお・かれぶし」で、「かつおぶし削りぶし」の原料。 削り方にもいろいろな種類があり、一般的に見られるのは「糸削り」（主にトッピング用）や「厚削り」（主にだし取り用）、「薄削り」（両用）などがある。 また、削節を佃煮にしたものや醤油であえたものはおかかと呼ばれ、握飯の具として人気がある。 その他の用途として、粉状にしたものをたこ焼きやお好み焼きに振り掛けてコクを出す。出荷用の鰹節を直接粉状にすることは稀で、製作工程上で出た屑節や廃棄用の物を粉状にして販売することで有効利用していることが多い |
