| Current Entry | 名宝 [めいほう] /(?) ???/RH/ |
| Headword 1 | 名宝 |
| Reading 1 | めいほう |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | rare treasure |
| English 2 | noted treasure |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | I wonder if you would consider promoting this RH so that it comes up on the first search because I do not think that there is much doubt about its meaning.
Google throws up some 160k hits, it appears in text that I have read and also Nelson (716.8) gives a translation which matches your WI1, as shown below:- 名宝 【めいほう】 rare treasure; WI1 If you promoted the RH, presumably the 名宝 【めいほう】 rare treasure; WI1 gets deleted. |

| English 4 | (as a suffix) a general counter (e.g., 2 murders; 70 treasures) |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | The above amendment is suggested because this headword is used as a counter; see, for example, a click on your [A] link. Various examples in dictionaries support this.
Maybe, one of your experts will be above to expand upon my brief amendment in order to give the novice a more comprehensive understanding. |

| Editorial Comment | I agree on it being a general sort of counter for cases, items, etc. but I don't think it's really a suffix. |

| Editorial Comment | 被虐 mainly occurs in compounds, I think its core meaning is more "suffering (as a result of maltreatment)". |

| Part-of-speech | n |
| Comment | I believe that there may be a typo in the headword of this entry. According to page 1266 of the New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary, "柬埔寨" is the only correct way of writing Cambodia in kanji. The Japanese Wikipedia entry on Cambodia likewise records only this way of spelling it. |

| Part-of-speech | n |
| Comment | If you look up the word 迷い on the wwwjdic, you will find the example sentence 私達は道に迷いどうしていいかわからなかった. However this example sentence is the same as the sentence 私達は道に迷ってどうしていいかわからなかった, which illustrates proper use of the verb 迷う.It does not show proper use of the noun 迷い. |
