| Headword 1 | 蟠竜丸 |
| Reading 1 | がんりゅうまる |
| Part-of-speech | u |
| English 1 | The Emperor (a yacht) [where the 1858 treaty was signed] |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | The above shows on Google and Wikipedia.
As far as I can tell, 蟠竜丸 [The Emperor] is the name of the yacht upon which the English/Japanese trade treaty of 1858 was signed. I understand that this comes into focus at the present time because of the 150th anniversary of the event. I cannot find a classification for ships in the POS section so I guess it is as the above. |

| Comment | I appreciate that 度 can be added to many things, but I am wondering how I can determine the reading and the meaning, unless I can find the complete expression in a reliable reference source.
I can find 学年 without any problem. I can find 度 without any problem. However, when I see the options as to the meanings and readings of 度, I wonder on what basis I can confidently select the correct one, save perhaps by a reference to a teacher of customs. Usually, this means the text book; a most unsatisfactory tool, unless one has an excellent memory for all that one has read. It would be very much appreciated to see such records of custom on your site. |

| Comment | I am using the above as an example to support my immediately preceding submission for 学年度.
I also searched for 学園祭 on your site because I could not find the complete reading in my reference books. I could find the three kanji as a combination, but only the reading of the first two was given and then a range of combinations followed, including the above, without any readings for the additional kanji [perhaps all my reference works are near useless, because many of the customary endings are added without any readings given]. Anyway, I knew that the beginning was がくえん, but was the third kanji サイ or まつり? My guess, based no doubt on memory of some text book, was the former, but I have learned not to rely upon too much logic nor memory when it comes to Japanese readings so I turned to your site for confirmation. Great, up came the above. Now I shall try to remember that 祭 added to 学園 reads がくえんさい. However, if my memory fails me next time, I know that I can just look to your site again, and again, for the answer; and with a just a couple clicks, I shall have it [so unlike the text book search]. Moreover, with the constant peer review, I know that the answer would have been tested. I hope that you will apply the same facility for 学年度. |
