	Refs:	https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/引く研究社新和英中辞典での「引く」の英訳 19 〈後退する〉 retreat; fall back もう一歩もあとへは引かない. I will not budge an inch.
	Comments:	Request to add "fall back" / "retreat" Just saw やり合う時間はねえぜ。ひくぞ translated as "we don't have time to fight. let's retreat" before jumping out of a window in a 2-on-2 confrontation. Either this sense is independent of [17], or it would seem that "retreat"/"fall back" should be added to it, and possibly to the matching standalone entry for 退く. Note the Japanese kenkyuusha ref specifically identifies the sense as 後退する, for which we already have: 後退: retreat; falling back; moving backwards; reversing; backing up (of a vehicle); retrogression; retraction None of "let's draw back" "let's recede" or "let's move back" could have functioned in this context, the last of those being almost-but-not-quite there.

	Comments:	Cont. of #6 below. Looking at this again I think that 引: ひ.く, ひ.ける might suffice. I think we can regard the reading ひき as implied by ひ.く. Dropping okurigana from masu-stems in compounds is quite a regular change.

	Comments:	The kanji 引 has the readings ひ.く, ひ.き, ひ.き-, -び.き, ひ.ける I propose ひ.く, ひ.ける or ひ.く, ひ.ける, ひき instead. -- There is no need for ひ.き. The word 引き is just the masu-stem of 引く, not a noun in its own right. (Unlike say 匂: にお.う, にお.い) Obviously no need for ひ.き-. No need for -び.き ether. We normally don't include rendaku as separate readings. ---- One could make a case for ひき (as in 取引) as a separate reading. On the other hand, it is quite common to omit okurigana on masu-stems in compound words. I'd be happy to go either way here.
