| Comment | This picks up over 2m hits on Google.
In general, it is a suffix for the thing being handled [as many of your entries show, although many are incomplete "work in progess entries". I was checking for confirmation of the reading for 交換取扱者; which I understand to be the old telephone exchange operator's description. Anyway, it seems quite clear that the reading is as stated above [Nelson and Kenkyusha confirm the reading for the first two kanji, but end with "人" and not"者"]. However, as stated the headword above entry get many Google hits. |

The only dictionary I can find with 端から as an entry is the GG5. It has
端から as a sub-entry within the 端/はし entry, and indexes it
as "端から <はし1【端】". The section is: 端から every (last) one; one and all ・(食事を)端から平らげる eat each and every course ・(問題を)端から解く answer every last question ・ごぼうを刻んだ端から水にさらす immediately soak in water all sliced up pieces of burdock ・聞いた端から忘れる forget sth 「the moment [as soon as] one hears it. Having said that, I see in the 端/はな entry there is no mention of
"端から", but there is an example of はなから: |
| Headword 1 | 端から端まで |
| Reading 1 | はしからはしまで |
| Part-of-speech | exp |
| English 1 | from one end to another |
| English 2 | thoroughly |
| English 3 | completely |
| English 4 | utterly |
| Reference | from one end to another: djr はし【端】
(2)細長い物の先の方。 「ひもの両―」「―から―まで百メートルある」 thoroughly/completely/utterly meaning is realized in expressions like 卑怯者の言い訳は端から端まで嘘ばかり (googled). |
| Comment | Should I divide the meanings into two groups? (1) from one end to another and (2) thoroughly/completely/utterly?
They are the same to me anyway, but maybe. |

| Comment | Whereas 味付け is the common word for seasoning/flavoring, 着味 has a really industrial ring to it. The "taste brine" translation actually refers to 着味液 as far as I can tell; it's the brine used to flavor instant noodles for example. |

| Headword 1 | メンタリティー |

| Comment | i think the problem was that a search for メンタリテイー, brings up メンタリティー as a best possible ~~partial~~ match, when he was actually expecting an ~~exact~~ match for メンタリテイー
メンタリテイー is wrong (compare イ-ィ), but some electronic dictionaries (e.g. the ones at yahoo.co.jp) sometimes don't distinguish between the two for search purposes. personally i find that 'feature' of yahoo somewhat annoying |

A few comments:
(a) I think it has to be じんしゅにもとづいたふんべつ. じんしゅにもとづいたぶんべつ would be discriminatimg on race. (b) this gets 0 Google hits. As it's a longish expression, I think it's better as an example rather than an entry. |
