| Headword 1 | 荒涼たる |
| Reading 1 | こうりょうたる |

| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | I have used "exp" for the part-of-speech because you once made comments about the complexities of "たる". According to my readings, this "たる" is more similar to "な", but I don't suppose that I can give it a "な" classification.
The reading and the meaning are in Kenkyusha. In addition to this headword, there are a good range of helpful combinations starting with "荒涼", but there are also some uncompleted ones. Whether you wish to upgrade them, I am not sure, but the novice would always welcome that. For example:- 荒涼たる山 【？】 bleak mountain; WI4 荒涼たる冬 【？】 bleak winter; WI4 I did not want just to submit these with "やま" and "ふゆ", perhaps leaving you having to delete them. |

| Comment | Currently you have the following related entries in various parts of the database:
1) 身元保証人になる 【？】 go security (for); WI4 ---> I'd suggest this entry is not needed at all in the dictionary, since the meaning falls out straight from the parts of this expression. But if you want to keep it, "to go security for" is 専門用語 and should be complemented with something a non-specialist might say, such as "to be (act as) guarantor"... :-) 2) 身元保証人 【？】 referee (UK); WI4 ---> that seems to come from EIJIRO 3) 身元保証人 【みもとほしょうにん】 personal surety; LW1 ---> promote (as per this new entry) 4) 身元保証人として名前を借りる 【？】 use one's name as a guarantor; WI4 ---> This entry seems unnecessary, since the meaning of the whole falls out straight from its parts (and it is not quite right, anyway: it rather means "to use sb. else's name as a guarantor" or, since this is rather chokuyaku-ish, "to get sb. else to sign as guarantor". :-) |

| Comment | No change to the existing entry, but just a note to set the record straight (since these submissions are publicly viewable): i had erroneously mentioned "it is one of the only two places in Taiwan that have a sister city in Japan" - what i meant is "it is one of the only two places in Taiwan that have a sister city in Okinawa", and that has been superceded - as of recent there are three. ;-) |
