| Headword 1 | 人口湖 |
| Reading 1 | じんこうこ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | reservoir |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | With reference to Rene's comment that 'surely, 人口湖 is incorrect kanji for 人工湖 ', I have checked the book again and I can confirm that I have made the correct reading. Also there are many hits on Google for the string.
However, having made the confirmation from the source, I have to defer to your own knowledge on the matter. |

| Editorial Comment | The correct kanji is indeed 人工湖. but 人口湖 is amazingly common, given that it is clearly a 変換ミス. |
| Headword 1 | 道なき道 |
| Reading 1 | みちなきみち |
| Part-of-speech | exp |
| English 1 | road which is not a road |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | My reason for submitting the above [apart from your system prompting me to do so] is to make an observation.
The text which I was reading included this: '道なき道なのです.' It was related to a well-used pathway across meadow land. Hence "It is assuredly 'a road which is not a road'. " [at least, that is my reading of it]. Google hits are not many. However, I tried your 'Translate Words' option and naturally all the words came up except for 'なき' which I am taking as '無き'. Now, '無き' does appear on your data base and if in the 'Translate Words' option that had come up as well, that final clue would have 'assuredly' given the total meaning. I hope that is useful feedback. |

道なき道 is reasonably common (100k+ Googits). Eijiro suggests
"trackless path". GG5 has:
山中の道なき道を行く push (one's) way through the trackless mountain fastness. |

| Comment | The above gets quite a lot of Google hit, but it is not shown specifically in any of my reference books.
The headword was part of some text which was used in the context of digging up stones, which I am taking to be archaeological type work, which was about finding stones which have been worked on by man [even perhaps women]. |

| Comment | Yes, there's no questioning that 人口湖 seems common...Which is why I included it here. But I don't think it makes any sense.
That would be a "population lake" or "human mouth lake", as opposed to 人工湖, which would be a "man-made lake". Most likely people use 人口湖 out of confusion between 人口 and 人工, based on the form of things like 火口湖 ("crater lake"). |
