| Comment | Somewhat stepping into the arena of the self-exposure of a lack of knowledge, I am wondering whether or not you have the right kanji for しゃがむ. When one looks up the kanji used in your data base, namely: 蹲, the readings are うずくまる and つくばう. On beginning my search, I did start to look for しゃがみこむ and then I checked back for しゃがむ.
It seems to me that the correct kanji should be 躑 [Nelson 5920]. However, I have also noted that in some other dictionaries either 蹲 is used against しゃがむ or that the kanji is not referred to at all. So, perhaps if 躑 is too obscure, then perhaps also the readings for 蹲 should be expanded to include しゃがむ in the data base. I hope that makes some sense and that I am not off on a limb of obscurity myself. |

| Editorial Comment | I have removed the 蹲む from that entry. None of my 漢和字典 show that kanji and only Nelson shows 躑 (I don't trust Nelson a lot.) 広辞宛 says that the *meaning* of 蹲 is しゃがむ, but it's not listed in the readings. |

| Comment | Building on a prior post, I would suggest there be links to 著作権 and 出版権, the differences amongst them I can only glean from their etymologies. Perhaps someone in the field might be able to specify the differences. Also a link to
特許権 is not completely out of order. After all, no two different things can be called synonymous (by definition), "big" being different from "large" after all, such that I kind of like "relationships" that even stretch the Venn overlaps. |

| Editorial Comment | I don't want to go too far at this stage in adding lots of rather loose links. Francis Bond is working on a Japanese Wordnet, which will provide a very rich set of such linkages, and has the potential of enabling a thesaurus function. Once they are available it will be the time to think about how to handle such things at the user interface level. |

Note: 持ち主 rightly warrants a P marker, though from the examples given I gather that 所有者 might have broader application. Dunno if it warrants a P though; kinda think not. |

| Comment | From what I can tell 蹲む is only used in Japanese-English dictionaries. Kokugo dictionaries all have this as しゃがむ only. Gets about 50 real googits.
しゃがむ is not listed as a reading for 蹲 in either of my kanwa dictionaries, although the definition is right. 躑 just seems wrong. My kanwas list it as meaning "edging forward" or something. "躑む" gets one googit. I would guess Nelson meant to use 蹲, but screwed up the kanji. If 蹲む is kept as a headword, I might mark it (iK) (or gikun?). Deleting it may be better: "しゃがむ" = 300,000 hits, "蹲む" = 50 "しゃがんだ" = 200,000 hits, "蹲んだ" = 30 |
