<upd_detl>indeed it does.

Jim, should the usage tags or the headwords be switched for this word?  is it 
possible to do an automated search to detect when usage tags aren't on the first 
headword/reading?  that's a pretty good indicator that one or the other is wrong.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I have not taken the step of making an alteration, but I wonder why there is no reference to "palace grounds" or "壼  コン palace corridor or passageway" as appears in your own file on explanations for kanji. Even a cross-reference to this is not shown.

In addition, according to my searches, the above entry is repeated in its entirety in your site. When one gets the original search for "つぼ"　up comes the above as the second entry. Then when one explores "more" the entry is repeated again after three pages.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>(a) the reason is that 壼 is the *wrong* kanji for つぼ. Hence the "iK" tag. It just happens to look like 壺. This entry is essentially about つぼ.
(b) once you get past the first page of a display of entries, there is a chance that an entry may get displayed again, if it happens to be indexed twice (e.g. for different parts of it.) WWWJDIC can only pass minimal information from one page to another, and keeping track of all the entries displayed so far is too much for a "stateless" server. HTH. (I'll leave this entry open for a day or so.)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Your comments match my original source notes, but which because of your entry I then thought may have been wrong.

I wonder if it would then perhaps be better to put the wrong kanji in brackets with a note that it is sometimes wronly used in contection with "つぼ" and to avoid confusion perhaps make a cross-reference to a new entry for its correct meaning?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think the "iK" is quite clear. Putting headword items in parentheses is a good way of messing up data, and putting in cross-references for what are in fact typos would be poor lexicographic practice.
An alternative would be to "demote" the 壼 to a comment such as "sometimes written 壼", but then it gets skipped in regular searching.
There are many "iK" instances. I think the handling is appropriate.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>katakana surprisingly common. not sure why. I'm getting an overwhelming amount of acupuncture results on an image search for both つぼ and ツボ, which is why I'm not adding [uk] elsewhere, even though I feel it should be added</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I'm reversing the order (undoing a change I made 5 years ago.)
I think the "uk" additions are correct.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>The later (2007) and much larger Google n-gram collection has 壺 ahead:
壷	719876
壺	931981
壼	7801
つぼ	1287758
ツボ	3981286
Also all my references only have 壺. It's odd - if you look up 壷 in the online KOD, you get taken to the Daijirin entry for 壺. They must just map the kanji together.</upd_refs>
