  Comments:
類いない over 類ない in deference the the official movement to change the orthography. I did read the whole conversation on たぐい, Quite interesting.

I xreffed 比類ない without の due to structural similarity, but my intention is that it be aligned with 比類のない, which I have currently edited as:
  unparalleled; unparallelled; incomparable; unmatched; unrivaled; unrivalled; peerless; unique; unprecedented

Do we think the meaning here is distinct from the xref? (it does not seem so to me).  Do we try to give more dated/formal glosses for more formal/dated terms (like preferring "matchless" and "peerless" over "unparalleled" and "unmatched")?  Maybe that's better?

I don't know which users will pay attention, but the fact that 類ない and 類のない apparently have different readings on 類 is quite shocking. (the latter commonly るい, hence the high ngrams).  That xref is more of a warning than anything else. I made the reading explicit, otherwise it will be unnoticed.

sankoku gives all of たぐい(類い) as 文(and gives no collocations). Given the frequency on this term vs. the xrefs, this seems fair at least on this structure. Also [rare]-ish.
