Remember that "wait" can also mean what a waiter or waitress does.

Search "wait on".

Ignore the sentences that have things like "wait on the porch" for this meaning.

I know. The above mentioned linked sentences (not sure for the Japanese) are about "waiting for". Can "to wait on" have this meaning?

Using "wait on" in a context that contains "master", "customer", or a similar word generally means "serve". However, Collins gives a few sources that say that the use of "wait on" can mean "wait for", although this sense is "dialectical, informal, ... chiefly in Midland and Southern US dialect".

I suppose a person speaking such a dialect could use this sentence to mean that they were waiting for their master, though my guess is that the Tanaka Corpus contributor wasn't a speaker of such a dialect.

What does the Japanese mean?I

Thanks, Alan. Well, I leave it up to you whether to unlink those sentences or not. Though I personally think they are somewhat misleading.

Google Translate translates the Japanese as "He served his master."

As a translation of the German "Er wartete auf seinen Meister", I added #3004931 ("He waited for his master") and #12350987 ("He was waiting for his master"), then did some linking.
