Current Entry厚生 [こうせい] /(n) public welfare/Welfare Ministry/(P)/ (1275490)
Headword 1厚生
Reading 1こうせい
Part-of-speechn
English 1public welfare
English 2Welfare Ministry
Reference[A]
[W]
[S]
CommentJust 厚生 doesn't strike me as meaning "Welfare Ministry" unless it is used as a sloppy abbreviation, I'd expect at least a 省. [A], [W] and [S] don't offer anything more than "public welfare" either.

I don't know the context in which "Welfare Ministry" was added to the entry, but could it be clarified? (sense split, abbr) Or simply dropped? (the latter has my preference)

Commenti think i recommended here that "thick" be moved to the first sense

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/dicsubs/2007-03/subs2007-03-02.html


so yeah, moving that to the first position, altering the glosses slightly, removing "serious" from sense 2, as I think that's a dupe of sense 3, adding a restriction to sense 4, and withdrawing my submission of sense 5 altogether, which i no longer think is important enough for inclusion, at least without an (arch) tag.

Current Entryト調 [トちょう] /(?) ???/RH/
Headword 1ト調
Reading 1トちょう
Part-of-speechn
English 1scale of G (in music)
English 2RH
ReferenceSee below.
CommentMany thanks for your comment on music scales. Originally, I searched around without success. When I looked up the English/Japanese dictionary, I could see "ト" and its relationship to "G", but I could not find the reverse in the Japanese dictionary. As I can now see, the reasons were obvious, I was into 'divining' as opposed to the real world.
When I searched your site as suggested, I also came across the above; which was the original text [but misread by me]. Presumably, the above is the scale of "G" as opposed to the major and minor scales of "G" based on your ト長調 and ト短調 entries; at least, it seems like that from the position of a non-musical layman.
