Stats on 見覚えのある entry. Teasing this out... this is に見覚えがある, so *I* have the recollection *of* the thing. I am the subject. I think I thought this was more complicated. But the statement "見覚えのある" is "it is familiar to me", "I have remembrances of it". Notice "to look familiar" and "to recognize" have different subjects in English. This is not ideal... Maybe just giving the natural glosses plus an explicit [lit] gloss clears this up? I'm not fond of ambiguous subjects... And I'm not a fan of "to be recognized (by someone)" as a gloss. [adj-f] debatable. Clearly can be, but usually 見覚えのある for that. You could give this the verb class of ある. We don't currently generally do that, but I think it's been discussed. This is perfectly valid with あった、あります、なかった, etc...

Lots of "look familiar", recognize constructions, etc... https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/見覚えがある 見覚えがある look familiar 他動 形 recognizable <--- I am concerned this implies in English "generally recognizable" and not "recognized by me" 単語帳 ～に見覚えがある remember seeing ~ before （人）に見覚えがある know someone by sight〔【誤】know someone's face〕
