「十年前,文先生的太太死了。」
----------------------------------------------

Editor: We used to have that, but we deleted it. Justifiably, I'd say.

Treating that sort of fragment as a headword would mean we should also accept a proliferation of similar headwords like 年后, 天前, 天后, 月前, 月后 etc.

And what about something like 2006年前10个月波兰货币供应量增长11.2%?
That 年前 isn't "years ago". So do we need a gloss "before the year ..."?

I don't think we need to explain 十五年前 with a new gloss for 年前.
It's (十五年)(前), and "ago" is already one our glosses for 前.
Similarly 2006年前 is (2006年)(前) and we already have "before" as a gloss for 前.
Diff:
# - 年前 年前 [nian2 qian2] /before the end of the year/before the new year/
# + 年前 年前 [nian2 qian2] /(number of) years ago/before the end of the year/before the new year/
