  Comments:
As most of these glosses work for both senses, I think we should combine them (as the JEs do).

OK, but I feel it would be good to mention it somewhere, esp. 似てる.

  Comments:
The counts for 似た are almost as high as the combined counts for 似ている and 似てる. I think the note could be misleading. The preferred form depends on how the word is being used (e.g. where in the sentence it appears).

  Comments:
Most of the examples for 似る use 似ている or variants, which is not surprising since the n-grams show they are about 50 times more common. Over half the Tanaka examples for 似る use 似ている.
At the very least there should be a note, but we could even have 似ている/似てる entries.
