| Reading 1 | せいきゅうこう |
| Part-of-speech | n |

| Reference | 前記いずれかの請求項に従って... (ALC online dictionary) |
| Comment | Hi, I use denshijisho almost every day, and I think I might have found a mistake. I was looking up the word for 'claim', as in a patent, and my coworker told me that it is せいきゅうこう, but that word doesn't show up in the dictionary.せいきゅうちょう does show up, and has the right definition, but I think the kanji and pronunciation is wrong. The kanji looks very similar, only the left-hand radical is different, and not by very much, but according to coworkers and ALC online dictionary, it is 請求項rather than 請求頂.

| Comment | The current definition is confusing (to someone coming from an English background) as to whether 'last name' refers to 'given name'（人名） or 'family name'（名字）; moreover it's unclear whether 呼び捨て is truly limited specifically to the given name. |

| Comment | There is a cross-reference from 強者 to 兵and I am wondering if there should be a cross-reference from 兵 to 強者. Perhaps with a note that 強者 is used when the meaning is related non-military people and 兵 when it relates to the military [if, of course, that is the case].
Thank you for responding about your daughter. Once one has been forced by circumstances to accept a new base-line, every little step of progress brings much joy. Should you be happy to keep your contributors informed, I would be happy to hear at some future time that your daughter's steps to recovery are complete. |

| Comment | The first two kanji combination come up on your site and elsewhere, likewise the second two kanji, but the combination of the three does not seem to, however, there are many Google hits. Moreover, it seems a logical combination of the three kanji.
I started off thinking about 珍しい as the reading of the first kanji, but that does not seem to work for the kanji combination, unless it is a customary thing like うけつけwhich is written as受付. |
