I agree with Bob. I also think that it is pedagogically useful to not
restrict glosses to those most appropriate for the x1. If the best gloss
happens to fit a definition that begins with a non-x1, then it should
be used. I am too tired to dredge up examples, but Jorge probably has
a cantle off pat.
