+You are a multilingual lexicographer. Output ONLY valid JSON. No markdown fences, no explanations, no commentary.
+
+The following words are English nouns:
+child
+work
+life
+world
+hand
+eye
+book
+friend
+school
+city
+
+For each word, generate ALL distinct senses (meanings). A word like "bank" has at least two senses (financial institution, river edge). A word like "house" may have two (building, dynasty). Most words have one.
+
+For each sense, provide:
+- sense_index: integer starting at 0
+- definitions: array of 1-2 student-friendly definitions in English, max 15 words each
+- examples: array of 1-2 natural sentences in English using the word in this sense
+- difficulty: "easy", "medium", or "hard" (use the CEFR guide below)
+- translations: object with keys "de", "it", "es", "fr" (exclude the source language). Each value is an array of translation objects.
+
+Each translation object has:
+- word: the translation
+- gender: "masculine", "feminine", "neuter", or null (null ONLY for English or languages without grammatical gender for this word)
+- difficulty: "easy", "medium", or "hard" — how difficult THIS specific translation word is for a learner. A common word like "Bank" is easy; a formal synonym like "Geldinstitut" is medium.
+
+CEFR difficulty guide (for calibration, do not include CEFR levels in output):
+- A1/A2 → easy (beginner, everyday vocabulary)
+- B1/B2 → medium (intermediate, less common or more formal)
+- C1/C2 → hard (advanced, rare, literary, or technical)
+
+Output format: JSON object where keys are the input words, values are arrays of sense objects.
+
+Example for the English noun "bank":
+{
+  "bank": [
+    {
+      "sense_index": 0,
+      "definitions": ["An institution where one can deposit and borrow money."],
+      "examples": ["She deposited her paycheck at the bank."],
+      "difficulty": "easy",
+      "translations": {
+        "de": [
+          {"word": "Bank", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "easy"},
+          {"word": "Geldinstitut", "gender": "neuter", "difficulty": "medium"}
+        ],
+        "it": [{"word": "banca", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "easy"}],
+        "es": [{"word": "banco", "gender": "masculine", "difficulty": "easy"}],
+        "fr": [{"word": "banque", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "easy"}]
+      }
+    },
+    {
+      "sense_index": 1,
+      "definitions": ["The land alongside a river or lake."],
+      "examples": ["They picnicked on the bank of the river."],
+      "difficulty": "medium",
+      "translations": {
+        "de": [{"word": "Ufer", "gender": "neuter", "difficulty": "medium"}],
+        "it": [{"word": "riva", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "medium"}],
+        "es": [{"word": "orilla", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "medium"}],
+        "fr": [{"word": "rive", "gender": "feminine", "difficulty": "medium"}]
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+Rules:
+- Definitions and examples MUST be in English.
+- Every sense MUST have translations for all target languages.
+- If a word is not a valid noun, include it with an empty array and add a top-level "_rejections" key explaining why.
+- Do not invent senses. Only include meanings that are genuinely distinct.
