Comments: | However 見窄らしい is the form that's in the Ichiman reference list. I think it can be dropped from the kanji. |

Comments: | I don't think it really makes sense to tag a rK form with any prio tag. |

Comments: | OK. I think "seedy" is OK - it fits the other glosses. Maybe danger/illegality is an AmE nuance. |

Comments: | To me, "seedy" has connotations of danger and possibly illegality. The gloss in GG5 but I'm not a fan. As I understand it, the meaning of みすぼらしい is more narrowly focused on physical appearance. The kanji 見 appears in ~5% of usages, so I don't think 見すぼらしい technically counts as [rK]. I think it's safe to move it to the first position. Should this be demoted to [ichi2]? |
