GG5 has: 〔皮膚〕 skin; 〔肌身〕 a [the] body.
Obviously only for specific and rather personal contexts, as the examples show: 女の肌に触れる touch a woman's 「skin [body]; 〔性的関係をもつ〕 sleep with a woman; 《文》 lie with a woman; know a woman 肌を合わせる bring one's bodies together 《for warmth》; 〔性的関係をもつ〕 sleep together; 《文》 have carnal knowledge of each other (女が)男に肌を許す give herself to a man etc. |

| Comment | There is an entry for 平たい, but none for 平たく which, used before 言うと or 言えば has the meaning of "to put it simply" or "to say it in layman's terms" etc. Does this require a new entry, or just an amendment to 平たい? |
| Name | David Stormer |
| Submission Type | amend |
| Editorial Comment | 平たい and 平たく are different words, so they can't share the one entry. Also 平たく is a regular adverbial formation from 平たい. Generally the -く forms of -い adjectives are not included unless they are not obvious from the adjective, Do we really need 平たく? |
