| Headword 1 | 農耕地 |
| Reading 1 | のうこうち |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | arable land |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | This gets over 70k of Google hits. The beginner can find "農耕" and the reading of "のうこう" in any dictionary. However, what reading does the novice give to "地"?
In my own references, the kanji for "地" is simply added-on in order to give one of the examples of usage, but without any reading. The experienced person probably knows the answer to this and would regard it as obvious. I did a Google search, as you have suggested, based upon the characters and the reading, and, as you would know, the answer is "のうこうち." Would you consider the inclusion of this headword in your main dictionary? As we have noted before, it is often the prefix and the suffix to the main reading which gives so much plague to the beginner [an perhaps also the person who is not such a beginner]. |
