Current Entry	手が掛かる;手がかかる [てがかかる] /(exp) to take a lot of dealing with/to be a handlful/ (2089710)
Headword 1	手が掛かる
Headword 2	手がかかる
Reading 1	てがかかる
Part-of-speech	exp,v5r
English 1	to take a lot of dealing with
English 2	to be a handlful
Comment	てのかかる　is just the relative form of this expression. Any expression using a が can also use a の. It would be great to have a way to deal automatically with those entries. (Maybe by allowing the の entry as a second headword with reading restrictions?)

Editorial Comment	I experimented ages ago with having the の and が forms in the one entry, but it was too messy.

Editorial Comment	8-) Foundering is correct. It means "sinking". (In GG5 even.)

Current Entry	ほろりと /(vs,adv) (on-mim) being moved to tears/being touched by/becoming sentimental/ (1011730)
Headword 1	ほろり
Part-of-speech	adv
English 1	(on-mim) being moved (to tears)
English 2	being touched by
English 3	becoming sentimental
Comment	Maybe drop both the と and the vs. と definitely isn't the source of the meaning. Just wait for the day there's a vとs part-of-speech. vs applies to too many words anyway. In fact, why not stick to categorizing words according to actual Japanese grammar? Oh, and I also parenthesized "to tears" just to make it clear they are not necessarily implied. I submitted ほろり because I read on the lyrics of some song 涙ほろり零れてくよ and Rikaichan didn't point me anywhere intelligible so I resorted to Google.

Name	バチシタ・ルイ
Submission Type	amend
Editorial Comment	I've dropped the と and added a comment "also ほろりとする". I don't find Japanese 国語 classifications much use for dictionary PoSs, and they're useless unless you've studied a lot Japanese already.

Current Entry	特定省電力無線機 [とくていしょうでんりょくむせんき] /(n) transceiver/TempSUB/
Headword 1	特定省電力無線機
Reading 1	とくていしょうでんりょくむせんき
Part-of-speech	n
English 1	transceiver
English 2	TempSUB
Comment	I said: "Hmmmm. Doesn't seem correct. 省電力 is about conserving power." Someone responded: "Just search amazon.co.jp for 「特定省電力無線機」 and .com for "transceiver". I apologize for the unwanted publicity, but images.google.co.jp and .com just didn't cut it." OK. Got it. The trouble is that "transceiver" in English is pretty broad in meaning. whereas トランシーバー in Japanese is usually restricted to mean a small wireless telephone. 特定省電力無線機 has to been seen in this context. A better gloss is "low-power wireless telehone", with an xref to トランシーバー.
