I selected some less common keywords and copied definitions for them from the New Oxford American Dictionary, which is used by Google's dictionary API and the dictionary application in OS X. I made separate lists for words that didn't have exact definitions and ambiguous keywords.
Some of the definitions might be for incorrect senses of the keywords. The last four sections might be improved, and the sections for ambiguous keywords are not complete.
The words are sorted by frame numbers. The keywords and frame numbers are from the fifth edition of RTK1 and the second edition of RTK3, but I'll update them once I find a list of keywords and frame numbers in the third edition of RTK3. As far as I'm concerned, the lists are released in the public domain.

Thanks for sharing. Could you put this into a Google Docs or similar service? It would be more usable.
That or a page on the RtkWiki, would be better suited. Thank you.
I think plain text is a lot more usable than Google Docs though. If anyone wants to import the lists to a spreadsheet application, you can do a regex search and replace like this:
sed -E $'s/([ -~]+) (.) (.+)/\\1\t\\2\t\\3/g' input.txt > output.txt
The lists are also posted on my website.

I agree. I save all spreadsheets as csv or similar files.
Nevertheless, done:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc … ldVUGZZVUE
If someone wants to copy that to their own docs please do
I'm also going through RTK1 (say approximately 1400) and so I may be wrong, but would it be possible to verify the following:
328|津|haven|A place of safety or refuge
Does it instead mean "A harbour or anchorage protected from the sea."?
540|遂|consummate|Make (a marriage or relationship) complete by having sexual intercourse
Does it instead mean "To bring (a task, project, goal etc.) to completion; to accomplish."?
1302|防|ward|district
Does it mean "ward" in the sense of ward off/protect/defend?
(definitions from wiktionary)
Thank you for the list!
Edit: Also, I *think* 均 means the following: 160|均|level|balanced or (mathematical) average
Edit 2: About 680|型|mould|[British spelling of mold], I believe "mold" *not* in the sense of the fungus, but in the sense of a mold in shaping things.
Edit 3: I think 1455 "specimen" is ambiguous because it does not refer to an animal specimen, but rather "An individual instance that represents a class; an example. [e.g.] early specimens of the art of Picasso"

Thanks, I updated the list and fixed a few other errors as well. I also removed words that appeared on both lists from the first one.
