CommentYou may not believe that the above expression is worthy of inclusion , but when I was trying to find the meaning and the reading of this submission, I was not entirely certain whether '客' was the suffix of the first two kanji or the prefix of the final two kanji. Or, of course, whether the first two kanji and the last two kanji were respectively the prefix and the suffix of '客' .

Clearly, the individual parts could be searched and also the first two kanji and the last two kanji gave results. However, the total expression is just a matter of speculation for the novice [at least, the novice without a teacher standing by]. The scholar, of course, flashes by the string with complete understanding and hardly the blink of an eye.

Following your recent comment, should you decide to have a a separate file of "doubtful/disputed" draft entries, which was based upon the searchings of the novices, I would imagine that the novice would be very happy just to find a matching string. Further, I do not think that happy result would be diminished even if the attached comment was simply something like this: 'This match shows that you have not made the correct word breaks, but the string is fairly common. Try searching the text again with differing starting and ending points.'

Editorial Comment Did you try 大口客優先 in thr "Translate Words" option? It gives 大口+客+優先. I don't think it warrants an entry.
