Comment: << review queue entry 50592 - submitted by 'pjshumphreys' >>
After looking at various example sentences, together with other sources of information available on the net (including Chinese language sources such as http://baike.baidu.com/view/42452.htm?noadapt=1), it seems to me that the definition of this character could use some consolidation.
Diff:
- 以 以 [yi3] /to use/according to/so as to/by means of/in order to/by/with/because/
# + 以 以 [yi3] /by/through/according to/at the boundary of/to use/so as to/in order to/
 
# Editor: this amounts to
# - /by means of/with/because/
# + /through/at the boundary of/
# at the boundary doesn't seem justified; "because" is lost; "through" is ambiguous
 
# some reordering, delete by/with/ (ambiguous), add "at"
+ 以 以 [yi3] /to use/by means of/according to/in order to/because of/at (a certain date or place)/
