Is there a J to E dictionary that shows which meaning of a word is used in what percentage?

I love the website [jpdb.io](https://jpdb.io)

It shows the various forms in which a word can be written as well as the percentage.

For example, for the word 「元々」, it shows its alternate forms as もともと & 元々 while also showing their percentage as 56% and 43% respectively.

So I was wondering if there’s a dictionary that shows this same *percentage thing* but with meanings instead of alternate forms?

I’d like to see which of the meanings are used more and by what percentage.

No idea, but thanks for the resource, I had no idea this existed!

i’d be surprised if that could be collected easily. alternate uses can be collated with simple text searches. usage requires context-knowledgeable data parsing. as well as a potential for handling vague usage such as when it could be taken multiple ways, poetic usages, etc. i’d be curious to see how they manage to collect such information, if there really is a resource that has this available.

What’s a compelling way to say something like “Start your adventure,” in Japanese?
