| Part-of-speech | n |

| Comment | Returning again, but based upon Name's NEW submission for "二級酒" [which is actually in the RH as above], I am sorry that I seemed to have hit on the wrong entry with my upgrade submission. I entered the search as "酒一升" and I guess that the result was based only on the first two characters. Then, clearly believing that I got a hit, I misread the "杯" for "升" and made the submission, hence my strange reading.
The actual expression from the text in the book was "二級酒一升". I am inclined to agree with Name's suggestion about the deletion of the entry which I did click on because it seems that 'a cup of sake' is more often seen as "一杯の酒". Now, I have probably created another needless entry. My apologies for the inconvenience. |

| Comment | I was pleased to find the above entry. Perhaps it can be promoted because the "適さない" gets over 500K hits on Google. The "適さないで" gets only a few thousand.
The text from the book which I was reading included this: "...水上生活に適さない動物..." |

| Headword 1 | 具 |
| Reading 1 | ぐ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | (see comments) |
| Comment | The definition for this comes up as "具 【ぐ】 (n,n-suf) (1) tool; means; ingredients; (ctr) (2) counter for armor, suits, sets of furniture (armour); (P)".
I'm guessing that "(armour)" was actually supposed to follow "armor" as an alternate spelling. It doesn't make much sense after "sets of furniture". |
