Comments: | Added 効 This is the *only* example of a past-tense-causative verb in all of jmdict. (Advanced search: reading ends-with せた) The consistent thing to do would be to delete this entry, and then to *possibly* create メリハリを効かせる。 メリハリを効かせる is missing(though arguably not necessary either), and it has other uses. Also, I don't think this gloss is right, but I don't have the time to verify that at the moment. |
