Don't you have to differentiate between shimo-nidan and kami-nidan in
the POS, since you can't tell one from the other from the dictionary
form?  I think the a is indicating it's ????, and the s that it's ??
rather than ??.  This might not really be important as long as ?????耄?is the only classical verb form in the dictionary...
