# Editor: going thru this line by line. And it's heavy going.

# these are no problems. They are words that should be in any dicts.

# These are plant names. The only question that might arise is whether they are usual names for the plant, or names only used in TCM

# Editor: seems to be one possible name for a species of 杨梅. However, see my previous remarks; and "Cortex seu Fructus Myricae nanae" is imply hilarious to me; just say "Myrica nana" as the Chinese texts do, and place the burden of determining which part on knowledge and context; rather than saying in Pidgin Latin "bark or fruit"

# 矮楊梅 矮杨梅 [ai3 yang2 mei2] /bark or fruit of dwarf bayberry (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Cortex seu Fructus Myricae nanae/

# It's just the name of a plant. A valuable addition as such.

# 艾納香 艾纳香 [ai4 na4 xiang1] /sambong leaf and branchlet (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Folium et Ramulus Blumeae balsamiferae/

# well, you see that when the Chinese wants to be explicit, it can. And thus, the following is just the root of the previous. Evident.

# 艾納香根 艾纳香根 [ai4 na4 xiang1 gen1] /sambong root (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Radix Blumeae balsamiferae/

# this is a special case. It is the name of the whole plant, so that you find for instance 矮茎朱砂根的根或全草

# Again, you see that the Chinese can specify "root" or "herb" when it wants to.

# 矮莖朱砂根 矮茎朱砂根 [ai3 jing1 zhu1 sha1 gen1] /short-stem Ardisia root or herb (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Radix seu Herba Ardisiae brevicaulis/

# this is a different case. This is the flower of 款冬, and outside of TCM it doesn't seem to be called that.

# By the way, a few synonyms are 款冬花, 冬花, 款花, 九九花, 款冬, 氐冬, 螋冬, 款冻, 橐吾, 炙冬花, 蜜炙款冬花. Hope you got all that.

# this plethora of names seemingly arises from their use in various treatises. They were presumably common (local) names, but fell out of use. The treatises preserved their names for TCM.

# now this is a specific product used in TCM.

# We don't have however to stick to the gibberish used in *western* TCM, as spread by a few lists of terms where you find this exact equivalence.

# "Luodian borneol" should be, and is in fact, 罗甸县冰片. Why this is equated to 艾片 I can't fathom, but the main point is that "Luodian Borneol" is not only (maybe) inaccurate, but also useless as a def for the common user.

# 艾片 艾片 [ai4 pian4] /Luodian borneol (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Borneolum Luodian/

# and 艾片 is a specific preparation, probably not pure borneol. A bit like translating "aspirin" by "acetylsalicylic acid"

# 暖宮丸 means "pill for warming the womb", 艾 means mugwort and 附 means 香附 (nutsedge)

# So, what we have here as a def is in fact a word by word equivalent in gibberish English (prepared aconite?)

# No use for the user of the dict.

# Now, 艾附暖宫丸 is really a well-known preparation. You could say it's a fixed name for an object of Chinese everyday life.

# As such, it belongs in an encyclopedia (and it is there: Baike, Hudong...).

# It *could* go in the dict with a short, informative def.

# 艾附暖宮丸 艾附暖宫丸 [ai4 fu4 nuan3 gong1 wan2] /Mugwort and Prepared Aconite Pill for Warming the Womb (traditional Chinese medicine)/
