deep-eyed の意味は?
In the weblio dictionary, I've found the meaning of "deep-eyed" as "したいの尾根ばった顔の特徴". in this
tranlation, "したい" means the dead, at first I supposed this must be a mistake of "ひたい".
several sentences after this I found the sentence "(characteristic of the bony face of a cadaver)", cadaver
means a dead human body. I suppose that the writer of this part had struggled which is suitable, Couldn't it
be only limited to cadaver, Could also forehead be suitable for it. I want him to use kanji/ideograph "死体"
or "額" at least.

I agree that 死体 or 屍体 would be more helpful than the all-hiragana したい.
Weblio cannot correct it, though. If I’m not mistaken, Weblio does not make a dictionary. There is no such thing as “The Weblio Dictionary.” Weblio only displays the definitions of words and phrases from multiple dictionaries made available to them through licensing.
The phrase, “deep-eyed,” was taken from 日本語WordNet(英和). The name of this dictionary is shown on the right side of the phrase.
You might want to contact 日本語WordNet. It is based on Princeton WordNet and Euro WordNet. I wonder if they are intended for some kind of specialized use. Their purposes might be different from what we would normally expect with common dictionaries.
