Re: [edict-jmdict] special kanji readings

Just going through my far too full inbox and found some
that had drifted out of sight.

The "reason" is that no-one has suggested it or offered to identify such
words.

At present there are only 4 tags associated with readings: ok, ik, gikun and
uK. There could quite easily be more, e.g. sr1 and sr2 for the two above.

A comment I would make is that if this were to happen, the "gikun" tags need
to be included in the assessment, as at present these are often called
special readings too.
