      Priority Information
  Information about the relative priority of the entry consists
  	of codes indicating the word appears in various references which
  	can be taken as an indication of the frequency with which the word
  	is used. This field is intended for use either by applications which
  	want to concentrate on entries of  a particular priority, or to
  	generate subset files.
  
  The current values in this field are:- news1/2: appears in the "wordfreq" file compiled by Alexandre Girardi
  	from the Mainichi Shimbun. (See the Monash ftp archive for a copy.)
  	Words in the first 12,000 in that file are marked "news1" and words
  	in the second 12,000 are marked "news2".- ichi1/2: appears in the "Ichimango goi bunruishuu", Senmon Kyouiku
  	Publishing, Tokyo, 1998.  (The entries marked "ichi2" were
  	demoted from ichi1 because they were observed to have low
  	frequencies in the WWW and newspapers.)- spec1 and spec2: a small number of words use this marker when they
  	are detected as being common, but are not included in other lists.- gai1/2: common loanwords, based on the wordfreq file.- nfxx: this is an indicator of frequency-of-use ranking in the
  	wordfreq file. "xx" is the number of the set of 500 words in which
  	the entry can be found, with "01" assigned to the first 500, "02"
  	to the second, and so on. (The entries with news1, ichi1, spec1 and
  	gai1 values are marked with a "(P)" in the EDICT and EDICT2
  	files.)
  
  The reason both the kanji and reading elements are tagged is because
  	on occasions a priority is only associated with a particular
  	kanji/reading pair.
