+<P>
+The EDICT file results from a long-running project to produce a freely
+available Japanese/English Dictionary in machine-readable form.
+</P>
+<P>
+The EDICT file is copyright, and is distributed in accordance with the
+Licence Statement, which can found at the WWW site of the
+ <a HREF="http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/groups/edrdg/">Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group </a>
+who are the owners of the copyright.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF01">CURRENT VERSION </a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+The version date and sequence number is included in the dictionary itself
+under the entry "EDICT". (Actually it is under the JIS-ASCII code "????".
+This keeps it as the first entry when it is sorted.)
+</P>
+<P>
+The master copy of EDICT is in the pub/nihongo directory of
+<TT> ftp.cc.monash.edu.au. </TT>
+There are other copies around, but they may not be
+as up-to-date. The easy way to check if the version you have is the latest is
+from the size/date.
+</P>
+<P>
+As of V96-001, the EDICT file no longer contains proper names. These have
+been moved to a separate file called "ENAMDICT".
+From V99-002, the EDICT file has been generated from an extended dictionary
+database which includes additional fields and information. See the later
+section on the new JMdict project for details of this.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF02">FORMAT</a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+EDICT's format is that of the original "EDICT" format used by the early
+PC Japanese word-processor MOKE (Mark's Own Kanji Editor).
+It uses EUC-JP coding for kana and kanji, however this can be converted to
+JIS (ISO-2022-JP) or Shift-JIS
+by any of the several conversion programs around. It is a text file with one
+entry per line. The format of entries is:
+</P>
+<P>
+</P>
+<PRE>
+KANJI [KANA] /English_1/English_2/.../
+</PRE>
+<P>
+or
+</P>
+<P>
+</P>
+<PRE>
+KANA /English_1/.../
+</PRE>
+<P>
+(NB: Only the KANJI and KANA are in EUC; all the other characters, including
+spaces, must be ASCII.)
+</P>
+<P>
+The English translations are deliberately brief, as the application of the
+dictionary is expected to be primarily on-line look-ups, etc.
+</P>
+<P>
+The EDICT file is not intended to have its entries in any particular order.
+In fact it almost always is in order as a by-product of the update method I
+use, however there is no guarantee of this. (The order is almost always JIS
++ alphabetical, starting with the head-word.)
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF03">EDICT HISTORY</a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+EDICT has developed as follows:
+</P>
+<OL type="a">
+<LI>
+it began with the basic EDICT distributed with MOKE 2.0. This was compiled by MOKE's
+author, Mark Edwards, with assistance from Spencer Green. Mark
+kindly released this material to the EDICT project. A number of corrections
+were made to the MOKE original, e.g. spelling mistakes, minor
+mistranslations, etc. It also had a lot of duplications, which have been
+removed. It contained about 1900 unique entries. Mark Edwards has also
+kindly given permission for the vocabulary files developed for KG (Kanji
+Guess) to be added to EDICT.
+</LI>
+<LI>
+additions by Jim Breen. I laboriously keyed in a ~2000 entry dictionary
+used in my first year nihongo course at Swinburne Institute of Technology
+years ago (I was given permission by the authors to do this). I then worked
+through other vocabulary lists trying to make sure major entries were not
+omitted. The English-to-kana entries in the SKK files were added also. This
+task is continuing, although it has slowed down, and I suspect I will run out
+of energy eventually. Apart from that, I have made a large number of
+additions during normal reading of Japanese text and fj.* news using JREADER
+and XJDIC. (As of November 2001 I am still adding entries.)
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>
+additions by others. Many people have contributed entries and
+corrections to EDICT. I am forever on the lookout for sources of material,
+provided it is genuinely available for use in the Project. I am
+grateful to Theresa Martin who an early supplier a lot of useful material,
+plus very perceptive corrections. Hidekazu Tozaki has also been a great help
+with tidying up a lot of awry entries, and helping me identify obscure kanji
+compounds. Kurt Stueber has been an assiduous keyer of many useful entries.
+A large group of contributions came from Sony, where Rik Smoody had put
+together a large online dictionary. Another batch came from the
+Japanese-German JDDICT file in similar format that Helmut Goldenstein keyed
+(with permission) from the Langenscheidt edited by Hadamitzky. Harold Rowe
+was great help with much of the translation. During 1994, Dr Yo Tomita, then
+at the University of Leeds, conducted a massive proof-reading of the entire
+file, for which I am most grateful. Jeffrey Friedl at Omron in Kyoto has also
+been a most helpful contributor and error-detector. During 1995, I have been
+keeping an eye on the "honyaku" mailing list, wherein Japanese-English
+translators discuss thorny issues. From this I have derived many new entries,
+and many updates to existing entries. To the many honyakujin, my thanks.
+</LI>
+</OL>
+A reasonably full list of contributors is at the back of this file,
+although I am sure to have missed a few.
+<P>
+At this stage EDICT has many more entries than many good commercial dictionaries,
+which typically have 20,000+ non-name entries with examples, etc. It is
+certainly bigger than some of the smaller printed dictionaries, and when used
+in conjunction with a search-and-display program like JDIC or XJDIC it
+provides a highly effective on-line dictionary service.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF04">COPYRIGHT ISSUES</a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+Dictionary copyright is a difficult point, because clearly the first
+lexicographer who published "inu means dog" could not claim a copyright
+violation over all subsequent Japanese dictionaries. While it is usual to
+consult other dictionaries for "accurate lexicographic information", as
+Nelson put it, wholesale copying is, of course, not permissible. What makes
+each dictionary unique (and copyrightable) is the particular selection of
+words, the phrasing of the meanings, the presentation of the contents (a very
+important point in the case of EDICT), and the means of publication. Of
+course, the fact that for the most part the kanji and kana of each entry are
+coming from public sources, and the structure and layout of the entries
+themselves are quite unlike those in any published dictionary, adds a degree
+of protection to EDICT.
+</P>
+<P>
+The advice I have received from people who know about these things is that
+EDICT is just as much a new dictionary as any others on the market. Readers
+may see an entry which looks familiar, and say "Aha! That comes from the XYZ
+Jiten!". They may be right, and they may be wrong. After all there aren't
+too many translations of neko. Let me make one thing quite clear, despite
+considerable temptation (Electronic Books can be easily decoded), NONE of
+this dictionary came from commercial machine-readable dictionaries. I have a
+case of RSI in my right elbow to prove it.
+</P>
+<P>
+Please do not contribute entries to EDICT which have come directly from
+copyrightable sources. It is hard to check these, and you may be
+jeopardizing EDICT's status.
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF05">LEXICOGRAPHICAL DETAILS</a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+<B>Introduction</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+EDICT is actually a Japanese->English dictionary, although the words within
+it can be selected in either language using appropriate software. (JDIC uses
+it to provide both E->J and J->E functionality.)
+</P>
+<P>
+The early stages of EDICT had size limitations due to its usage (MOKE scans
+it sequentially and JDXGEN, which is JDIC's index generator, held it in RAM.)
+This meant that examples of usage could not be included, and inclusion of
+phrases was very limited. JDIC/JDXGEN can now handle a much larger
+dictionary, but the compact format has continued.
+</P>
+<P>
+No inflections of verbs or adjectives have been included, except in idiomatic
+expressions. Similarly particles are handled as separate entries. Adverbs
+formed from adjectives (-ku or ni) are generally not included. Verbs are, of
+course, in the plain or "dictionary" form.
+</P>
+<P>
+<B>Priority Entries</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+Starting with the 2001 editions, approximately 20,000 entries comprising the most commonly-used words in Japanese are marked
+with a "(P)" at the end of the entry. This list has been identified by
+examining several small
+dictionaries, and lists of common gairaigo from Japanese newspapers.
+</P>
+<P>
+<B>Parts of Speech</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+In working on EDICT, bearing in mind I want to use it in MOKE and with JDIC,
+I had to come up with a solution to the problem of adjectival nouns
+[keiyoudoushi] (e.g. kirei and kantan), nouns which can be used adjectivally
+with the particle "no" and verbs formed by adding suru (e.g. benkyousuru).
+If I put entries in EDICT with the "na" and "suru" included, MOKE would not
+find a match when they are omitted or, the case of suru, inflected. What I
+decided to do is to put the basic noun into the dictionary and add
+"(vs)" where it can be used to form a verb with suru, "(a-no)" for common
+"no" usage, and "(an)" if it is an adjectival noun. Entries appeared as:
+</P>
+<P>
+</P>
+<PRE>
+KANJI [benkyou] /study (vs)/
+KANJI [kantan] /simple (an)/
+</PRE>
+<P>
+In early 2001, as part of the JMdict project (see below), I completely revised
+this system, instead introducing a comprehensive system of Part of Speech
+(POS) tags. In the EDICT version of the file these tags usually appear in
+parentheses
+at the start of the entry, separated into general tags and POS tags. Where
+a tag applies to a single gloss or meaning, it will be included there instead.
+</P>
+<P>
+The (hopefully) full list of such markers is:
+</P>
+<P>
+</P>
+<PRE>
+abbr abbreviation
+adj adjective (keiyoushi)
+adv adverb (fukushi)
+adv-n adverbial noun
+adj-na adjectival nouns or quasi-adjectives (keiyodoshi)
+adj-no nouns which may take the genitive case particle "no"
+adj-pn pre-noun adjectival (rentaishi)
+adj-s special adjective (e.g. ookii)
+adj-t "taru" adjective
+arch archaism
+ateji ateji reading of the kanji
+aux auxiliary word or phrase
+aux-v auxiliary verb
+conj conjunction
+col colloquialism
+exp Expressions (phrases, clauses, etc.)
+ek exclusively kanji, rarely just in kana
+fam familiar language
+fem female term or language
+gikun gikun (meaning) reading
+gram grammatical term
+hon honorific or respectful (sonkeigo) language
+hum humble (kenjougo) language
+id idiomatic expression
+int interjection (kandoushi)
+iK word containing irregular kanji usage
+ik word containing irregular kana usage
+io irregular okurigana usage
+MA martial arts term
+male male term or language
+m-sl manga slang
+n noun (common) (futsuumeishi)
+n-adv adverbial noun (fukushitekimeishi)
+n-t noun (temporal) (jisoumeishi)
+n-suf noun, used as a suffix
+n-pref noun, used as a prefix
+neg negative (in a negative sentence, or with negative verb)
+neg-v negative verb (when used with)
+num number, numeric
+obs obsolete term
+obsc obscure term
+oK word containing out-dated kanji
+ok out-dated or obsolete kana usage
+pol polite (teineigo) language

+vs-s suru verb - special class
+vk Kuru verb - special class
+vt transitive verb
+vulg vulgar expression or word
+X rude or X-rated term (not displayed in educational software)
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<B>Multiple Senses</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+From the 2001 editions of EDICT, the differing senses associated with
+the Japanese head-words are being progessively marked. The marking takes the
+form of a "(1)", "(2)", etc. in front of the senses.
+</P>
+<P>
+<B>Spellings</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+I have endeavoured to cater for many possible variants of English translation
+and spelling. Where appropriate different translations are included for
+national variants (e.g. autumn/fall). I use Oxford (British) standard
+spelling (-our, -ize) for the entries I make, but I leave other entries in
+the national spelling of the submitter.
+</P>
+<P>
+At some stage in the future I intend to regularize the English spellings in such
+a way that allows searches on either British or American spellings
+to be successful.
+</P>
+<P>
+<B>Gairaigo and Regional Words</B>
+</P>
+<P>
+For gairaigo which have not been derived from English words, I have attempted
+to indicate the source language and the word in that language. Languages have
+been coded in the two-letter codes from the ISO 639:1988 "Code for the
+representation of names of languages" standard, e.g. "(fr: avec)". See
+Appendix C for more on this. (Thanks to Holger Gruber for suggesting this
+language coding.)
+</P>
+<P>
+In addition to the language codes described in Appendix C, a number of tags
+are used to indicate that a word or phrase is associated with a particular
+regional language variant within Japan. The tags are:
+</P>
+<P>
+</P>
+<PRE>
+kyb Kyoto-ben
+osb Osaka-ben
+ksb Kansai-ben
+ktb Kantou-ben
+tsb Tosa-ben
+</PRE>
+<P>
+In the case of gairaigo which have a meaning which is not apparent from the
+original (English) words, the literal transcription is included, with
+the tag (lit).
+</P>
+<P>
+<b><a name="IREF06">NEW JMDICT PROJECT</a></b>
+</P>
+<P>
+Early in 1999 work began on the JMdict project, which aims to extend the
+structure and content of the EDICT file to enable it to contain
+additional information and provided an improved service to users.
+</P>
+<P>
+The project has several broad goals:
+</P>
+<OL type="a">
+<LI>to convert the EDICT file to a new dictionary structure which overcomes
+the deficiencies in the current structure. With regard to this goal, the
+particular structural and content aspects to be addressed include, but
+are not limited to:
+<OL type="i">
+<LI>the handling of orthographical variation (e.g. in kanji
+usage, okurigana usage, readings) within the single entry;
+</LI>
+<LI>additional and more appropriately associated tagging of
+grammatical and other information;
+</LI>
+<LI>provision for separation of different senses (polysemy) in
+the translations;
+</LI>
+<LI>provision for the inclusion of translational equivalents
+from several languages;
+</LI>
+<LI>provision for inclusion of examples of the usage of words;
+</LI>
+<LI>provision for cross-references to related entries.
+</LI>
+</OL>
+</LI>
+<LI>to publish the dictionary in a standard format which is accessible
+by a wide range of software tools; [It is proposed that this goal be
+addressed by developing the structure so that it can be released as
+an XML document, with an associated XML DTD.
+</LI>
+<LI>to retain backward compatibility with the original EDICT structure in
+order to enable legacy software systems to use later versions of the
+EDICT files.
+</LI>
+</OL>
+For more information on the JMdict project, please see the documentation
+files.
+<P>
+By May 1999 the EDICT file had been converted into the new format. A major
+part of this consisted of identifying and combining entries which were
+effectively variants of each other.
+</P>
+<P>
+Since V99-002, the EDICT file has been generated from the new format.
+This has meant:
+</P>
+<OL type="a">
+<LI>a marginal increase in the number of entries, as there is an increased
+number of variants;
+</LI>
+<LI>the English fields of the variant entries are now exactly the same,
+as they have generated from the single expanded entry;
+</LI>
+<LI>the tags such as (vs), (an), etc. now appear before the first word
+of the English fields.
+</LI>
+</OL>
+<b><a name="IREF07">USAGE</a></b>
+<P>
+EDICT can be freely used provided satisfactory acknowledgement is made,
+and a number of other conditions are met.
+Consult the Licence Statement information at Appendix A.

+<P>
+It is, of course, the main dictionary used by PD and GPL Copyright software
+such as JDIC, JREADER, XJDIC, MacJDic, etc. It can be used as the

+I prefer not to get a "diff" or "patch" file as the master EDICT is under
+continuous revision, and may have had quite a few changes since you got your
+copy.
+</P>
+<P>
+Users intending to make submissions to EDICT should follow the following
+simple rules:
+</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>all verbs in plain form. The English must begin with "to ....". Add the
+verb type in some prominent place.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>add (adj-na) or (adj-no) or (vs) as appropriate to nouns. Do not put the "na" or
+"no" particles on the Japanese, or the "suru" auxiliary verb. For entries
+which have (vs), do not enter them as verb infinitives (e.g. "to cook"),
+instead enter them as gerunds/participles/whatever (e.g. cooking (vs)).
+ <P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>indicate prefixes and suffixes by "(pref)" and "(suf)" in the first English
+entry, not by using "-" in the kanji or kana.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>do not add definite or indefinite articles (e.g. "a", "an", "the", etc) to
+English nouns unless they are necessary to distinguish the word from
+another usage type or homonym.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>do not guess the kanji or the reading. If you don't know them, don't
+send it to me. I will check all incoming suggestions, and I get grumpy
+when I find sloppy errors. One of the most persistent problems in editing
+EDICT is finding and eliminating incorrect kanji and kana.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>do not use the "/", "[" or "]" characters except in their separating roles.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>if you are using a reference in romaji form, make sure you have the correct
+kana for "too/tou" and "zu", where the Hepburn romaji is often ambiguous.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>do not use kana or kanji in the "English" fields. Where it is necessary to
+use a Japanese word, e.g. kanto, use Hepburn romaji.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>make sure your kana is correct. A persistent problem is the submission of
+words like "honyaku" as ho+nya+ku instead of the correct ho+n+ya+ku.
+<P>
+</P>
+</LI>
+<LI>do not include words formed by common Japanese suffixes, such as "-teki",
+unless they cannot be deduced from the root.
