| Comment | I am using the above entry in order to make a submission on the following "RH" entry:-
ひょっくり (?) ???; RH I have searched around for "ひょっくり" but, in general, the nearest thing I can find is "ひょっこり". There are many thousands of Google hits for "ひょっくり," however, many are prefixed with "お" and Google images show much food for this search. My searches and deductions lead me to conclude that "ひょっくり" equals "suddenly," which is not too different from "ひょっこり." Also, because I have found "ひょっくり" in several different places, I do not think that it is a misspelling of "ひょっこり." The following is an sentence taken from text:- "... ひょっくり狸がやって来た。" This is taken as "... suddenly Badger put in his appearance." However, "unexpectedly" or "by chance" could be just as correct. My point is this: maybe the "RH" should be deleted and the "ひょっくり" reading then included as an alternative to the "ひょっこり." However, if it is considered that there is a difference, then the "RH" could be completed with "suddenly." |

| Comment | Adding two more meanings (E) and following up on Jim's comment:
> So Eijiro's "optical waveguide" is wrong? Well, one could possibly argue that it's technically not wrong, but common usage is different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveguide_(optics) I see Kenkyusha's 追加語彙 has: "a light-guiding plate (略: LGP)", which I like too. Yes, that's another fitting term, as is light guiding panel (see URL below) - suggest to add both Anyway, here is some food for thought (i won't be able to follow up on this until some other time) 導光板: http://www.d-g.co.jp/contents/lgp/ http://www.colcoat.co.jp/products/productsL2_11398164599/productsL2_1 1398164599.html 導光体: http://www.kuraray.co.jp/products/question/chemical/methacrylic.html http://patent.astamuse.com/ja/published/JP/No/2009065621 http://www.ekouhou.net/disp-fterm-5C096CD02.html 導光シート: http://www2.renesas.com/news/ja/archive/0807/1001.html http://ednjapan.rbi-j.com/tag/導光シート http://www.ekouhou.net/disp-fterm-5G206RS32.html (also 導光部材) 導光線: http://www.maxis-01.co.jp/PDF pages/CL- 32 Catalog (Japanese).pdf http://traintrain.jp/blog/detail/mid/5619/date/2008-11-13 (also 導光板) http://jobcolle.com/job/734404.html 導光棒: http://www.j-tokkyo.com/2001/G02B/JP2001-281457.shtml http://www.ekouhou.net/導光棒使用発光装置/disp-A,2009-59501.html http://www.colcoat.co.jp/case/caseL2_11389396915/caseL3_1139979855 2/caseL3_11399798552.html (also 導光板 & 導光体) http://www.geocities.jp/motorcityrally_2061/N/783.html 導光管: http://www.j-tokkyo.com/2001/G02B/JP2001-194533.shtml And from there to more general terms, such as: 導光材: http://tomare-kita.blogzine.jp/kita/2006/05/post_7180.html 導光部材: http://www.ekouhou.net/disp-fterm-5G206RS32.html 導光性グレード: http://www.idemitsu.co.jp/ipc/resin/example/panel.html |
