I added "rarely" and "seldom" in 2019 but I think that only applies to たまにしか...ない.

A complex issue. Most JEs only have the kana form. Still, the key tag here is the "uk".

  Comments:
If rK is meant to signal to learners that that the form isn't worth memorising, I think it's best not to add it to 偶に. Any semi-serious reader of Japanese will encounter that form with some frequency. I remember being tripped up by 偶に numerous times because I'd only learnt the kana.
