| Current Entry | 整体 [せいたい] /(n,adj-no) chiropractic/ (1981970) |
| Headword 1 | 整体 |
| Reading 1 | せいたい |
| Part-of-speech | n,adj-no |
| English 1 | Setai (healing method similar to chiropractic, based on traditions from China or Japan) |
| Reference | http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/整体
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seitai for comparison, as to what it is not, see also: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/カイロプラクティック http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic |
| Comment | Translating 整体 simply as "chiropractic" is not appropriate, IMHO (it would be
similar to translating 柔道 as "wrestling": technically not wrong but in most, if not all, cases resulting in a serious misunderstanding). Since i have no easy solution to the issue at hand, i am suggesting the amendment as written above (i.e., including the "Seitai" in English, since, like "Soutai", it is used that way even outside of Japan; see for example, http://www.seitai-cvp.com/ and http://www.seitai-cvp.com/index.php/english/ ) [Note: this amendment is meant to correct an error of omission in the definition of the amendment i submitted the previous day.] |

usage sample for 発条 from the Tanaka corpus. :-) See in particular http://tokaibane.com/ and http://spg.jisw.com/ and http://www.spring-net.com/ for explicit use of both katakana and hiragana. |
| Comment | Whether i like it or not, many (if not most) people seem to use katakana or
hiragana for this term, so i think the dictionary should help us find the English meaning that way, too. :-) As to the Japanese readings - it looks like this entry may need to be split into at least two, with xrefs to each other |

| Comment | gg5 does not even have 楷書体 but seems to use 楷書 only to refer to handwriting. Daijirin is equally vague but also refers to a 書き方 which probably can only refer to handwriting.
Daijirin entry:漢字の書体の一。字画をくずさずきちんと書く書き方。隷書などから転化したもので、中国の三世紀中頃から使用された。真書。正書。真。楷 I'm not completely sure about this though. |
