nikk: "わざわいをおよぼす気。悪気。妖気。"
kanjigen: "よくないことがおこりそうなあやしい気配。ぶきみな雰囲気"
  Comments:
Those glosses weren't right. The 悪気 in the nikk definition is あっき, not わるぎ. Kanjigen redirects to 妖気.
This is part of the reason I feel we're wasting our time with entries like this. Writing glosses is not a trivial task. Our efforts are better spent on words that people are actually going to see. Like 氛氳, this probably doesn't exist outside of kanbun.

resubmitting another of Nicholas's rejected entries

the reason i started working on edict in the first place was because i was translating some akutagawa & soseki stuff and i could not find a japanese-english dictionary that had some of the old words i was finding.  i was using kokugos to make my own list of translated words and then i discovered that i could share them by submitting to edict

IMO, the archaic stuff is exactly where edict excels over GG5.  so i would prefer to allow in archaic words so long as they are backed up by solid kokugo references and marked as [arch]
