| Comment | 二本差 appears quite frequently, for example in text as follows:-
二本差階級わがままなふるまい.... [Which I understand means 'the self-centred behaviour of the two-sworded Samurai class'.] The above amendment would dispose of the two following RH entries:- 二本差 【にほんざ】 (?) ???; RH 二本差 【にほんざし】 (?) ???; RH |

| Editorial Comment | Added 二本差 to 二本差し (Daijirin has it as an option.) I think the reading is *always* にほんざし, never にほんざ. Don't read too much into the options in revhenkan - they are there to help people using an IME; not to provide definitive readings. |

| Comment | I cannot quite work out why the above headword is so difficult to find in the various references which I have looked at. Moreover, it is not on your site and, yet, it appears often [see Google]. It also often appears including 'よう' at the end, i.e., 言い得よう. This presumably means that the reading is 'える' as opposed to the more usual 'うる' in such combinations.
Your site, along with other reference works, has the following:- 言い得て妙 【いいえてみょう】 (exp) perfectly fitting phrase. So, perhaps your site should also have the above headword on its own. If it is not included because it is an obvious combination, then the reading options alone would justify an entry so that a novice is not left to continually wonder about such things; especially when many other entries are included with '得る [in various forms]' as a suffix to common words. As you know, I favour the inclusive spirit for your site, but I accept that there is a strong force in your team for the exclusion of the obvious. |

| Editorial Comment | Happy to add it, and 言いうる and 言いえる as well. I'm not really comfortable with the English meaning. |
| Current Entry | ゼミ(P);セミ /(n) (ゼミ is from de:) (abbr) seminar/(P)/ (1075160) |
| Headword 1 | ゼミ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | (ゼミ is from de:) (abbr) seminar |
| Reference | 広辞苑 |
| Comment | セミ is not an alternative reading for ゼミ. セミ either means 'cicada,' or is the loan form for semi-, as in セミプロ 'semi-pro.'
However, both ゼミナール (de) and セミナー (en) exist, with the former preferred. |
