  Supplementary information is provided mainly in the correspondence word information for correspondence words with partial equivalence. It is used to indicate semantic restrictions in either the headword or the correspondence word and also to indicate representative examples. There are four different types of supplementary information. The four different types and explanations are given below. Supplementary information is assigned throughout for human reference, and it is rather rare for the real data to be clearly categorized into one of the following groups as shown by examples. Please bear this in your mind when you use the dictionary.

  Additional Description

  A comment has been added to the first paragraph in Section "5.4.5 Part of Speech of Correspondence Word."
  
  Before:
  
  In the Japanese-English Bilingual Dictionary, a part of speech assignment is given to the correspondence words. The part of speech assignments used are similar to the part of speech assignments in the English Word Dictionary but the categories are abbreviated. When a correspondence word has several different parts of speech, the part of speech assignments are divided by a semicolon, ';'. For the part of speech codes, and the division of part of speech categories with examples, refer to Table 5-2.

For the part of speech codes, and the division of part of speech categories with examples, refer to Table 5-2. It is sometimes hard to assign a single appropriate part of speech covering the entire string of the correspondence word because no specific restrictions are provided in describing the correspondence words in the Japanese-English Bilingual Dictionary.
