<upd_detl>I can't find any evidence that the しゅ reading is [adj-no] for [3]. Heavy の usage in the ngrams seems to derive from [2]. It also feels like [adj-t] is self-evident unless I'm missing something.  The kokugos give 主たる as it's own entry (probably a reflection of how common it is), but if we're going to have an entry for 主 alone, [adj-t] seems correct.

Sankoku's defn of 主たる is おもな. (i.e. not しゅの).  One of our [adj-no] tests is "do the kokugos use の as an example?"  While not definitive, sankoku doesn't (it uses 主となる, and xref's 主たるand 主として）. daijs has no の examples(uses —とした and —になって).  In eijiro's extensive examples for 主の, 主 is always a suffix for something else (usually as ぬし, like　買い主の or 株主の), or else "the Lord's" (sense[2]).  Extensive ngrams seem just as likely to be this kind of usage.</upd_detl>

Fossilization of 主 (shu) + たる (taru, prenominal of the archaic copular たり (tari)). 

This person below seems likely to be citing us as an authority (using "adj-pn"). Note: we now have both 最 and 眇 as [adj-t].

<upd_detl>I don't think we need to mark this as adj-t when none of the kokugos do and 主たる is a separate word/entry.
Added sense.
I think we can drop しゅう.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Sorry, I didn't realise it was in the smaller kokugos. I don't think we need to mark it as rare.
Since it only applies to sense 1, I think it should be a separate entry. Oddly, smk's definition seems to contradict sankoku's〔文〕tag. No tag in meikyo.</upd_detl>
