Following your suggestion, Goo gives "昔からいだいている感情。昔の気持ち。". This I am taking as "a reawakened feeling, emotion, passion, sentiment, etc." and it appears as the 3rd translation. Roy Miller [38] gives the translations 1 and 2. |

| Comment | I added item 4 in order to address a problem i've noticed when using
"Translate Words": when this kanji is not part of a kanji compound (i.e., when it stands alone) in a non-specialised context, it _usually_ is read もと and not き ! (I don't think the slight overlap with the entry under 元(P); 本(P); 素; 基 【もと】 is a problem). |

| Editorial Comment | I handle the "Translate Words" problem a different way by having a special entry for 基 which combines both the き and もと meanings. I've just put that togethher and it will take effect tomorrow. |

Strictly speaking, this dictionary has either no headwords or multiple
headwords. It all depends what you are looking up, as every Japanese
word (kanji and kana) and almost all English words are indexed.
What you are really referring to is the way the Translate Words function works. I don't want to do a match on every kana sequence or I'll repeat one of the old Rikai solecisms of saying the した in 勉強した means "tongue". Instead I have a more limited extract of kana-only entries which is used by the Translate Words function. (This is mentioned in the Guide.) I have now updated the ところ/どころ entries in that file to match the main dictionary. It was a little out of date. |

| Comment | Something that has been puzzling me for a while are the entries ending in す
る that sometimes show up when using "Translate Words". For example, and as it happened, i got the following result on one occasion today: 上昇する 【じょうしょうする】 (n,vs,adj-no) rising; ascending; climbing Considering the meaning of the part-of-speech marker "vs" in the entry 上昇, the entry 上昇する (and other entries ending in する that duplicate existing entries) would seem superfluous - nevermind the fact that by just adding す る one gets the meaning all wrong: 上昇する is not "rising" but "to rise", etc., etc. |

| Editorial Comment | In the "glossdic" used by the Translate Words" function I expand many of the plain EDICT entries; adding な versions for adj-na, の versions for adj-no, する/した/して versions for vs, etc. This is to increase the chance of getting an EDICT match rather than a fragment of a phrase or expression. I should add the note "generated verb version" or something like that for the vs ones to make it clearer. |

Problem is, the meaning is wrong (in a similar way as the one mentioned in my previous comment), and i changed it to show what it _would_ be if it was in the dictionary - i am actually suggesting not to promote it but to delete it. :-) All a user needs to know in this case is covered by 投入 (n,vs)... :-) • 投入した 【とうにゅうした】 (n,vs) (1) throwing (e.g. something into somewhere); (2) investment; putting in (personnel, etc.); (3) release of a product; (4) making (an electrical circuit) |
