MK n-grams much the same.
  Comments:
Hard on the evidence of the n-grams to see the "uk" holding, but:
- all my JEs use kana in examples
- of the 8 Tanaka sentences using this verb, 4 are use kana.
- in Eijiro, about 40 passages use kana and 10 use もて遊ぶ. 
Also, should there be "iK" on もて遊ぶ? No ref has it. I suspect it's a common misspelling.
