### Jmdict Element Descriptions

Source: https://www.edrdg.org/jmdict/jmdict_dtd_h

This snippet provides descriptions for specific elements within the Jmdict structure, such as 'g_gend' for gender, 'pri' for primary words, and 's_inf' for sense information.

```XML
<!-- The g_gend attribute defines the gender of the gloss (typically
a noun in the target language. When absent, the gender is either
not relevant or has yet to be provided.
-->
<!ELEMENT pri (#PCDATA)>
<!-- These elements highlight particular target-language words which 
are strongly associated with the Japanese word. The purpose is to 
establish a set of target-language words which can effectively be 
used as head-words in a reverse target-language/Japanese relationship.
-->
<!ELEMENT s_inf (#PCDATA)>
<!-- The sense-information elements provided for additional
information to be recorded about a sense. Typical usage would
be to indicate such things as level of currency of a sense, the
regional variations, etc.
-->
