| Comment | As per my offering to the Group, 名字 should be linked and grouped with 名前 as very commonly occuring. In "practical" usage, 名前 universally stands for "name", with 名字 being more specific but a bit pedantic/noisome in conversation. Point being, the corpus is chaotic. |

| Comment | I think I might consider dropping the "storey" rendering. Why? I plowed through 30 pages of ALC and didn't find anything other than the "layer, stratum" usage. Although I didn't find the "sheaf (math)" usage either, I feel I am a better person for now knowing what "sheaf" means in math. |

| English 1 | arrangement (of resources) |
| English 2 | disposition |
| Comment | I really don't like any of these renderings, even by looking at the kanji alone. Especially "disposition" which is too easily confused with an individual's personality or "disposition". How about: leaving alone "arrangement (of resources)", which I think is good enough to at least limp along on its shaky legs and then replacing "disposition" with "configuration; layout". The intended meaning of "disposition" here is well beyond the comprehension of the young people in my country at least. |
