  Comments:
Yes, it looks like the kana form counts are from the verb 縋る rather than the archaic name for a wasp. I think those kana forms in this entry are more likely confuse people than help them.
I think it's probably fine to keep this entry with those forms removed.

We don't typically use rK for arch terms.
Looking at web results, I think the n-grams for すがる少女 and すがる乙女 are entirely false positives. I'm in favour of dropping this entry.
