These definitions raise an interesting point about the scope of the
dictionary.  How many Tok Pisin speakers would recognize these meanings?  Is
the recognition restricted to those with knowledge of linguistics or to
those with literacy in Jabêm or Kâte?  If the former, then are these
definitions much different than "Tok Masta" which was discussed before?

[My comment is:]

I vote for inclusion because:

1)       it's always better to have as big a database as possible and
2)       Tok Pisin speakers are often interested in terms or constructions
used by other groups
