  Comments:
This may be a bit of a long shot, but I think it would be useful to have an entry for なすべき. I realise it's "just" 成す+可き, but it's common and although we already have an entry for なすべきこと, which is probably the most common usage, it's found in lots of other contexts such as なすべきでしょう, なすべきか, なすべきもの, なすべき仕事, なすべき任務, なすべき時, etc. (examples from GG5 and Tanaka)
