| Comment | All available dictionaries were innocent of this word, except that WWWJDIC has it but with no translation given. My wife, a native Japanese speaker, supplied the meaning, and it does fit the context in which the word was encountered. She did not object to the kana reading given by WWWJDIC. |

| Headword 1 | ポスター |
| Headword 2 | ポスタ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | poster |
| Comment | Judging from usage seen, I would drop the (P) from the ポスタ headword, leaving it only on the ポスター one. Searching for "ポスタ" on Google JP mainly returns hits about cities called "Posta" or other such words (one in Italy it seems), and pages where "ポスター" is used.
In compound nouns "ポスター" appears to be used almost exclusively: "ポスタ発表": 2.380 Googits "ポスター発表": 2.620.000 Googits |

| Current Entry | 用紙 [ようし] /(n) blank form/(P)/ (1546290) |
| Headword 1 | 用紙 |
| Reading 1 | ようし |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | (1) blank form |
| English 2 | (2) sheet(s) of paper |
| Reference | Usage in sentences such as:
# 用紙の方向を変えるのはどうやるのですか？ How do I change the paper orientation? (Source: ALC) Or more general: Ａ４用紙 レター用紙 (etc.) |
| Comment | Added a second sense. I'm assuming in English "blank form" can mean a sheet of paper with input fields and such printed on it, but not filled in yet. If "blank form" can also mean "a blank sheet of paper" the two translations need not be separate. |
