	Refs:	Koj: 「素敵」は当て字。「素的」「素適」とも書く。テキは接尾語
	Comments:	Yes, the kokugos only have 素敵 as ateji. I'd leave it on 素適 too.

	Comments:	Suggested enhancement. Where the connection between the kanji and the meaning is very non-obvious (and the kanji are not purely phonetic), it would be a nice enhancement to explain the etymology. For example, in this case, how does 素 + 敵 come to mean "lovely"? (I'm assuming it's not just phonetic, otherwise it would be marked "ateji", right?)
