| Comment | Following Rene's suggestion of using the on-line dictionaries in respect of my submission for 根本, I came across this: '京坂で、歌舞伎の正本(しょうほん)（脚本）のこと。[on Yahoo]' as an explanation.
I checked out that string on your translation section and I got the following:- 坂京 【きょうさか】 Kyousaka (s) 【きようさか】 Kiyousaka (s) NA 歌舞伎 【かぶき】 (n) kabuki; Japanese classical drama; (P); EP 正本 【せいほん】 (n) original; original text; authenticated facsimile; authenticated copy; ED 脚本 【きゃくほん】 (n) script; screenplay; scenario; (P); EP. I noticed that the reading for '正本' was 'せいほん'. This reading did not match Nelson, nor the above reference, nor others [they had 'しょうほん'] I then checked with your word search and I got the above headword, plus a separate entry for the following:- 正本 【せいほん】 (n) original; original text; authenticated facsimile; authenticated copy. The translation picked up the above [immediately above] which, as noted above, was the different reading. I am wondering whether the two entries should be merged so that both readings appear in the translation section. Or, in any event, perhaps they should both be cross-referenced to each other. Both readings are correct in the context of their meanings, but it is the 'しょうほん' which relates to plays. |

| Editorial Comment | I have 正本/せいほん and 正本/しょうほん as different entries as I regard them as different words that just happen to be written the same way. Think of "desert" in English. I have a "specials" file I use in the Translate Words function for such things (look up 生地 for an example of its use.) Probably 正本 should go in it. |

| Comment |
With regard to my submission immediately before this one, I wondered if you noticed that the headword, as above, on the translation section was reversed, namely:- 坂京 【きょうさか】 Kyousaka (s) 【きようさか】 Kiyousaka (s) NA . [By the way, I did copy the entry and paste, rather than typing it myself.] I checked out the word search for '坂京' and I got a different reading. I then searched for '京坂' and I got the correct entry of: '【きょうさか】京坂 Kyousaka (s) 【きようさか】 Kiyousaka (s) NA ' Then as a matter of interest, I returned to the translation section and, to my surprise, I got the following:- 京坂で、歌舞伎の正本(しょうほん)（脚本）のこと。 【きょうさか】京坂 Kyousaka (s) 【きようさか】 Kiyousaka (s) NA 歌舞伎 【かぶき】 (n) kabuki; Japanese classical drama; (P); EP 正本 【しょうほん】 (n) book of registration; text of a play; ED 脚本 【きゃくほん】 (n) script; screenplay; scenario; (P); EP . This new search shows the correct entry for both '京坂 ' and '正本 '. However the reading and the kanji were transposed for '京坂 '. As I copied and pasted all, as well as by observation, I am quite happy that the above is as it was. Could it possibly be my computer playing games? |

| Cross-reference | そうなんです, そうなんですけどねぇ |

| Comment | It is quite helpful to have the entries 'そうなんです' and 'そうなんですけどねぇ'. I may also be helpful to have the question form.
Sometimes it is difficult for a novice to be certain that the 'question' form is a direct question of the positive statement when faced with colloquial expressions. For example, is 'そうなんですか' simply, 'Is it yes?', or more naturally 'Is that so?' or what? |

see the point in chipping in with imagined definitions to words - if someone can come up with a correct or widely used equivalent to this term in English, that would be helpful, but failing that "environmental sexual harassment" seems OK in terms of carrying the meaning. |
