1 year ago Looks good to me. https://japanesetest4you.com/flashcard/learn-jlpt-n5-vocabulary-%E9%9A%A3-tonari/ confirms that tonari can mean neighbor. When it is ready for the auto parsing, it will be something like: [magic word] w -o J -b tonari n. neighbor.
Souang, Lukes, Ulang: can any of you confirm that tonari is word Palauans use (or used to)?
Chris, kaiuekeed is in already as is 'le'. We do not have 'le-' as a prefix but maybe that's OK.

It worked! Thanks @ChrisPerrette
I believe tonari is a borrowed Japanese word meaning something like neighbor, neighborhood, or neighboring.
Example from an Chedaol Biblia: “Me tirike el tonari er ngii me a remilsa er a dirk lekosiki, a dilu el kmo…” (Johanes 9:8) “And his neighbors and they who had seen him when he was still a beggar said…” (John 9:8)
The more commonly used Chedaol Biblia uses a more wordy phrase: “Me itia e tirka el ble lekaiuekeed a blirir me a rechad el milsang er a ngar a mong el di olengetngit a ngera er a rechad a uleker el kmo…” (Johanes 9:8) “Therefore those whose houses were near to his and they who had seen him in the past continually begging things from people asked…” (John 9:8)
Sometimes the word neighbor is translated as a ngar er a bita er ngii.
Is this something that could be a candidate for addition?
