Actually I guess this matters most for Chinese characters: The senses should nest under etymology, or at least be associated with numbered etymologies
(in Chinese quite often different etymologies are very different words)
Oh, I think I see how this is handled now. Each etymology gets split into its own separate dictionary entry. Good to know, this is exactly the desired behavior!
There are two topleve
{"senses": [{"raw_glosses": ["(dialectal Mandarin, Cantonese, dialectal Gan, Hakka, dialectal Wu, Xiang) to not have; to not exist"], "examples": [{"text": "你冇女朋友?梗系唔信啦!……或者有。你唔知啫。 [Cantonese, simp.]From: 陳慧嫻, 紅茶館nei⁵ mou⁵ neoi⁵ pang⁴ jau⁵? gang² hai⁶ m⁴ seon³ laa¹!...... waak⁶ ze² jau⁵. nei⁵ m⁴ zi¹ ze¹.

A thing I'm noticing is that the "senses" and "etymologies" entries are stored separately. This seems a bit weird: Wiktionary organizes senses by etymology, so should it not instead list the etymology as a part of its corresponding sense?
I may be misunderstanding what's going on here.
