  Comments: 
I argued in the なかぐろ entry that ・ shouldn't be included as a reading. The argument for including it here is even shakier. 
(based on the 2/3 rule, なかぼつ and なかぐろ should be merged, if we keep the ・ kanji in both)

ideally, i think ・ wouldn't be included as a headword...  it doesn't actually have the *reading* なかぽつ.  that's its name.  it doesn't have a reading since it's silent...

but we have generally (though not always) tended to include the symbol
