| Reading 1 | おうようかがくだいがく |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | university of applied science (e.g. the Dutch "Hogeschool" and the German "Fachhochschule" institutes of higher education) |
| Comment | In recent years the Dutch and German types of higher education known as "Hogeschool" and "Fachhochschule" respectively (a step below a full university, usu. only Bachelor degrees and sometimes Master degrees, but no doctorates), have come to be translated into English as "Universities of Applied Science". The de facto Japanese term is this (judging from the way such schools call themselves in Japanese, when they do).
Same as in Chinese according to Wikipedia (应用科学大学). |

| Comment | I think that, despite what some dictionaries may say, the kanji 強者 for つわもの is quite a bit more common than the kanji 兵 for the same reading.
Let's take the common phrase つわものぞろい. Estimated Google hits 134,000 for the kana version. This phrase cuts down on the つわもの / きょうしゃ confusion because きょうしゃぞろい is _not_ a common phrase - it only has one hit (probably henkanmiss)). 兵ぞろい 358 actual Google results 強者ぞろい Estimated 6,370, actual >1,000 兵揃い Estimated 1,870, actual >1,000 強者揃い Estimated 17,000, actual >1,000 兵(つわものぞろい)揃い Actual 0 強者(つわもの)揃い Actual 31 I suggest the order of the headwords be swapped, and (P) put on both headwords. |

| Reference | Text from a text at hand:
ピコ・プロジェクターが今後，順調に普及するための課題はいくつかある。小型化，低消 費電力化，コスト削減という三つの技術的な課題のうち，小型化の切り札とされるのが レーザ光源である。現在主流のLEDに比べて出射する光が広がりにくく，光学系をさらに 小型化しやすい。 |
| Comment | "technical problem" is not sufficient as a translation, as the sample clearly
shows: 技術的な課題 appears to relate to something i might call potential (or envisioned) features (that is to say, if there are any problems related to these, the solutions are already clearly visible) - unfortunately i don't think "potential features" is really that good a choice, but no better fitting English term wants to present itself at the moment - suggestions? (And also, about senses that i have marked, to be on the safe side - are the above really considered two senses? And if so, why? (Logical incompatibility?) And if not, why not? Thanks... |

省エネという面でも，総合効率はHF型蛍光灯には及ばない。日本電球工業会 は、国内で 発売した製品の評価結果によると、省エネ性能について蛍光灯代替の光源とはいえないと 結論付けている。 2) EIJIRO has the following two entries: その問題を正すのは彼の手には及ばない。 He is beyond his sphere of influence to correct the problem. 自分の手には及ばない beyond one's sphere of influence |
| Comment | As regards EIJIRO's entries, the provided explanation does not sound like
natural English, ;-) and i'd like to suggest that phrases along the lines of (the still somewhat clumsy) "correcting the problem lies outside his sphere of influence" or "correcting the problem is out of his reach" or (the more natural) "he does not have the influence/ power/ reach to correct the problem", etc., would provide better matches... |

| Comment | I am sorry to come back on this one again but, unless this headword is still awaiting a modification, the entry seems to require the addition of "も" to all of the "reading" entries and also the headwords themselves.
Your own comments seemed to confirm that this amendment is needed, namely, you stated: 'I don't think it can mean "everyone" without the も.' I wondered if your were expecting me to make a resubmission with the addition of the "も" following your comments, if so, my apologies for failing a second time. |

| Editorial Comment | I was referring to なんにん. 何人 is a horror - 5 readings and 4 meanings. GG5 has "everyone" for 何人/なんぴと/なんびと, so I'll hide behind that. We have an entry for 何人も (なんぴとも/なんびとも) as well. |
