<upd_detl>this is also a na-adjective, and I guess it's this sense that 
can by itself basically mean "なかなかいい," as in the example 
above. Not sure whether adj-na or adv should be 2 different 
senses or not?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>There is another adjectival use of なかなか that takes の, as in "彼はなかなかの外交家だ" (he is quite a diplomat) or "なかなかのものだったろう？" (it was wonderful, wasn't it?).  I've added this as meaning 4 with adj-no as the part of speech, but the help page says adj-no is a noun that can take の, and I'm not sure if that fits here, so please change if I've got it wrong.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I feel this is part of sense 1 (and is really a case of the common な -&gt; の transfer one sees all the time.) Then I see in the body of GG5 example after example where なかなかの is being used as Winnie describes (e.g. 彼はなかなかの書き手だ． He is a very good writer．) I think it's worth including.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>仲仲 and 却却 only seem to be in meikyo. I don't see any usage notes.
I think it's probably okay to use [rK] rather than [iK]</upd_detl>
