# Editor: My comments are included inline below:

 

# Terms like 埃及古物学家 and 埃及学家 seem to be more common (although these two are not precisely synonymous)

# GV ~ 埃及古物学者 6k / 埃及古物学家 47k / 埃及学家 113k

# So 埃及古物学者 looks pretty marginal.

# I think we can add 埃及学, though. (Added at the end - see below.)

 

 

 

# - 改革者 改革者 [gai3 ge2 zhe3] /reformer/

# lexicalized, GV ~ 1.6 million

 

 

 

# - 獲益者 获益者 [huo4 yi4 zhe3] /beneficiary/

 

 

 

# - 蒞事者 莅事者 [li4 shi4 zhe3] /an official/person holding post/local functionary/

# You can argue it's not a very useful term to retain, and that the def isn't very good, but I can't see how you could call it a "construct".

# Baike ~ 莅事者（拼音：lì shì zhě）是汉语中的古代官职称谓，指主管地方政务的官员，核心释义为"管政事的人"。

 

# - 孌童者 娈童者 [luan2 tong2 zhe3] /child molester/sex tourist/

# This looks like a typo (for 恋童者) rather than "construct, V+者"

 

 

 

# - 冒名頂替者 冒名顶替者 [mao4 ming2 ding3 ti4 zhe3] /impersonator/impostor/

 

# - 牧羊者 牧羊者 [mu4 yang2 zhe3] /shepherd/

 

# We should review entry for 拍馬

 

# - 漂流者 漂流者 [piao1 liu2 zhe3] /white water rafter/paddler/river runner/

 

 

# - 起訴者 起诉者 [qi3 su4 zhe3] /plaintiff/

 

# - 器官捐獻者 器官捐献者 [qi4 guan1 juan1 xian4 zhe3] /organ donor/

# It's "donor" in this context -- not "contributor", for example -- so this entry guides the user to the correct wording.

 

# - 簽字者 签字者 [qian1 zi4 zhe3] /signatory/

# It's a word with plenty of usage (see examples below), and "signatory" isn't a word that would necessarily spring to mind on reading the definition of 签字 ("to sign one's name")

# 下列签字者，经授权在本公约上签字，以昭信守。

# 签字者虽需先付款，但事后需自行向其他聚餐者追偿。

# 哥伦比亚公司签字者须为公司商会证明上的法人代表或其他商会证明上出现名字人员；

 

 

# - 施虐者 施虐者 [shi1 nu:e4 zhe3] /abuser/(in sadomasochism) dominant partner/

# I'll retain this one, if for no other reason than the fact that for the BDSM sense, terms derived from our def of 施虐, such as "tormentor" and "abuser", would not be correct

 

 

 

# - 逃北者 逃北者 [tao2 bei3 zhe3] /North Korean refugee/

# I can't see why 逃北者 would be considered a construct.

# I think 逃北 is directionally ambiguous, and could mean "flee to the north" and "flee from the north".

# 脫北者又稱逃北者...是指通過非正常管道離開朝鮮民主主義人民共和國到達其他國家的北韓國民。

 

# - 同道者 同道者 [tong2 dao4 zhe3] /fellow-traveler/like-minded person/

# The meaning, and its idiomatic expression in English, are not at all clear from the current def of 同道 ("same principle")

# Google ~ 267,000

# Ex. 同道者，不以山海为远。/ 结交同道者

 

# - 違章者 违章者 [wei2 zhang1 zhe3] /violator/lawbreaker/

# Legitimate term in its domain; Google ~ 166,000 - Can retain as /violator; offender/

 

 

 

# - 移民者 移民者 [yi2 min2 zhe3] /migrant/immigrant/

 

 

 

# - 中毒者 中毒者 [[zhong4du2zhe3]] /poisoned person (food poisoning, drug overdose or toxic exposure)/(coll.) addict; junkie; enthusiast (video games, shopping etc)/

# Are you saying this is a construct? Our definition of 中毒 is "to be poisoned" and you are not proposing any revised definition for it.

# But the "addict/enthusiast" sense of 中毒者 is not very clear with that definition of 中毒.

# Ex. 每天打6小时的游戏，我成了网络游戏中毒者

# Ex. 志贺高原：中上级滑雪中毒者必访！日本最高最大的滑雪乐园。

# Ex.1 基本上都是陳氏宗室,這些“莅事者”、“立事者”也都是都大夫、縣令長之類。

# Ex.2 ... 蒞事者也在外之官蒞民者也蒞事者固助其君以治民又敦若蒞民者親代其君

# 以施政於民者尤為切要哉君以民為天臣愚以為事輕於民蒞民者比之蒞事者尤為重也尤當優之

# 以禮秩加之以恩典豈特均之云乎宣宗時于延陵為建州刺史入辭宣宗曰建州去京師幾何對曰八千 ...
