Among other things, moved the parenthesis.  

肖る seems to be about emulation - "resembling" some other situation, in the usual meaning of the kanji (肖像 = picture which resembles the subject). 

daijs says the thing is "usually positive".  But, to share in someone's happiness is not "肖る", it's "幸せに肖る" (so far as I can see).

We don't usually want to emulate negative things, or share in negative situations, so this expression usually appears with a positive connotation.

I saw the eow.alc.co.jp link from 2011, and Robin's example sentence "サッカーブームに".  eow.alc.co.jp  may have added the "to capitalize on" gloss since 2011, and it seems to be a more natural fit for this usage. (obviously the underlying concept, sharing in the benefit, remains... this seems like a little bit of an extension).

"ブームにあやかり" is an extremely common google news hit.

>> I'm getting that E->J is of secondary concern at best...
Indeed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_knell
A death knell is the ringing of a church bell immediately after a death to announce it...

===
But surely this doesn't turn "church bells" into "funeral bells"...

I was just going to add on that the likely source of this was the chiming of temple bells for funerals/for the dead.

But this doesn't make the bells themselves funeral bells, any more than church bells at a Catholic church are funeral bells. It just feels like a very odd gloss to put here.

I'm getting that E->J is of secondary concern at best, but "funeral bell" -> "釣鐘" would be absurd.  And in the J->E direction, surely you would have the context of a funeral at play. "We heard the ringing of the 釣鐘", "we heard the ringing of the funeral bells".  I can see why this gloss might apply in some contexts, but I don't see why it's beneficial to have.

This feels like it would be more accurate as:
[expl] rung to announce the hour, for prayers, for funerals, etc.

(which is an [expl] I don't think anyone would ever add)

I lived opposite a temple in Tokyo for quite a while. The temple bell was very much in evidence at funerals.
My 1931 predecessor to GG5 doesn't include that gloss, so it was obviously added between then and 2003. I don't have a problem with the gloss.

Is there any evidence here besides GG5. It is not infallible.

This literally just looks completely wrong, I cannot find a single Japanese source that comes close to supporting it.

I'll offer another note I thought of after waking up.  Won't be broken up about it if you drop it as well.

I think "the definitive ~" is probably an excellent gloss in many cases, but it would be hard to shoehorn "definitive" into a noun as an explicit gloss.  If this were[adj-no], for example, it seems probably that "definitive" would be given. ”The definitive recipe for fried chicken".  

The note also serves the function of making usage crystal clear. (Though yes, this is perhaps not necessary).

I ran into 通常版・通常盤 before this entry, and my intuition was to tease out the subtle differences between 版 and 盤 and create two different entries.  When I saw how 決定版；決定盤 was handled, I felt a tremendous sense of relief(both in terms of writing the entries, and in understanding them as a learner).

Even sankoku sticks them together

It's an anomaly in Japanese to be sure, but I don't think there is anything to tease out by splitting them apart. I'd wager that [2] doesn't technically even need the [restr].  [2] is excluded by the simple fact that you'd have a hard time applying to anything but a record or music CD.  If you had some kind of non-music vinyl disc product that was the best of its kind, you probably could call it 決定盤 in sense[2].

95% of the use of 弔慰 is in the 弔慰金 compound. 弔意 is used more as an independent noun. The する case isn't great for either.
While this mostly fits into the 2/3 merge rule, I agree it's probably best to split as they're used quite differently.

I think 弔意 and 弔慰 need to be split, if nothing else for grammatical reason. 

Never seen this... we have the terms listed backwards by frequency (and with good reason, because outside of 弔慰金, 弔意 is the common form...)

 I've edited this entry as if 弔慰 is split. I removed the "mourning" because while the definition is essentially "the feeling of mourning someone's death", we'd [almost] never gloss this as "mourning" from this term.  reverso must have 100 examples, ~99 of which are "sympathy" or "condolence(s)"; in one case:
   損失に弔意を表した was glossed as "and mourned the great loss that the country had suffered."
But even that is suspect, as it is a E->J translation about the Continental Congress of the U.S. 

I left 弔慰 simply as [sK], and would add 弔意[sK] to a standalone 弔慰 entry (a search for either form should probably return both entries (弔意金 481 n-gram mistakes)).

Other JE dicts also omit "mourning" (though some have it).

Incidentally, reverso matches for 弔慰 are all 弔慰金.

daijs and sankoku both give 弔意 strictly as　名, no する indications, and an example sentence of 弔意を表す.  n-grams confirm, usage is much like in English "communicate my condolences, display sympathy" etc.  

sankoku gives 弔慰 as [form,vs,vt]. daijs says [vs] at least.  The example 弔慰金 has an entry in jmdict already. Note the interesting n-grams on 弔慰:
弔慰の意	338	  
弔慰の意を表す	160	  

It would seem that 慰 is perhaps not replacing 意, so much as they have a coincidental onyomi. Well, maybe (I also saw a few cases of 弔意の意) 

In spite of the [vs,vt] listing, n-grams don't contain any する use of 弔慰 form either. 

(This is why I came here - what is the direct object of "condolence" supposed to be... still don't know).

I'd probably call 弔慰 rare outside of 弔慰金. Or maybe just add a note
[note="usu. as 弔慰金"]

I take your point on [2] not being rare in the context of "walking barefoot on the edge of a sword blade". 

The issue is that stats attach to the entire term, and [1], surprisingly, appears as "common" (due, it seems,  to news stats on crime reporting). This inadvertently gives the impression that maybe sword-walking is a commonly-recognized cultural activity in Japan.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  [2] is an arcane religious ceremonial activity(or an extremely arcane form of entertainment).  Yes, it is sometimes enacted, yes, this is the word for the activity. No, it is not something an average Japanese person would have any familiarity with. (vs., say, 綱渡り tightrope walking, or maybe even fire walking). 

To answer your question directly, "is there a better word", no, there isn't.  But that doesn't make this a good word.  The couple of Japanese news sources that mentioned this included a definition, presumably because the specific details of "刃渡り" are not comprehensible on their own(unlike 綱渡り, which brought me back here). So, if an E->J translator wanted to describe "sword walking" to a Japanese audience, they shouldn't expect to have success using this term to do it(without supplementary information).  Perhaps that does justify [rare].

My actual motivation was that a learner can safely discard [2] as "not worth learning"(due to cultural rarity, not just low ngrams).  It was also as to counter the stats on [1].  Lots of online Japanese learning resources just scoop up "common" terms from jmdict and present them as-is.  In this specific context, I think [rare] is the lesser of two evils, but I understand if this is rejected.

A complex issue. Most JEs only have the kana form. Still, the key tag here is the "uk".

If rK is meant to signal to learners that that the form isn't worth memorising, I think it's best not to add it to 偶に. Any semi-serious reader of Japanese will encounter that form with some frequency. I remember being tripped up by 偶に numerous times because I'd only learnt the kana.

Wikipedia references to 遊吟 are all seemingly related to the band's songs:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=500&offset=0&profile=default&search="遊吟"&title=特別:検索&ns0=1

Worth the x-ref to 吟遊詩人 just for people who come to look up the band name  "遊吟", if nothing else.

I don't see any indication that 遊吟, as a noun, can represent the performer without 詩人 attached.  It also seems extremely rare outside of the band name, with the kanji out-of-order from the common term(below).

There is a prolific band by this name ("Yugin") from which all the n-grams spring(or nearly all).
http://yugin.jp/
Song listing:
https://www.uta-net.com/artist/6897/

not in sankoku, not on wikipedia, and the usual order for this term is 吟遊, not 遊吟 (see: 吟遊詩人).

吟遊	31168	12.7%
遊吟	4649	1.9%　　　Mostly the band, I suspect. Certainly google only returns the band.

Interview with the band says "This term comes from 吟遊詩人", and means traveling around the country while singing/reciting poetry. That's what we do, so...

I was trying to find out what the "JK" was in the two referenced articles as I'd not run across it before. I finally had to do a Google search to find out what it meant. This would make it so people can find this entry. The full-size romaji ＪＫ doesn't map to JK (though you might be able to modify the database so all full size romaji mapped to half size), so I had to look elsewhere until I found out it meant 女子高生. I tried searching in English and in Japanese. Problem being that I'm not always using a system that has Japanese installed, so I can't always search using full size romaji. Also, even the Japanese don't always use the full size romaji, as shown in the example references.

女子高校生	134789	7.4%

I think we can stick with 女子高生 as the source.
WRT the romanization style, (a) we usually stick to modified Hepburn in entries, and (b) the kunrei and wapuro styles of romanization would result in J and K as well.

夏草や兵どもが夢の跡 ー芭蕉
"The summer grass / 'tis all that's left / of ancient warriors' dreams". 


Was reading about rare kanji on reddit, and a small back-and-forth took place over this term.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/12jlwbj/when_is_the_kanji_鬽_for_bakemono_used_if_ever/

Assertion was "つわもの as a reading for 兵 is still pretty common and in use, you'll find it in books all the time. I can 100% guarantee you that literally every native speaker can read 兵 as つわもの." 

This was followed up with something that ties back to the haiku I independently discovered from the ngrams (below). "Especially when it's also part of a common poem/literary piece that most native speakers learn in school. Normally it's read as へい so yeah, if you ask someone to read 兵 out loud, they will likely read it as へい but つわもの itself is not that obscure of a reading." https://haiku-textbook.com/natsukusaya/

As comforting as it would be to think that the Japanese would kindly spell out such an obscure reading for us, I don't get the feeling that this is actually [uk], *at least* for the "warrior" sense. For example:
の兵は	10758	76.0%
の強者は	2627	18.6%
のツワモノは	504	3.6%
のつわものは	272	1.9%

furigana.info never reads 強者 as きょうしゃ (though the texts are older, and there are limited examples). They also say 兵 is 70% つわもの. (again, limited samples).

Stumbled on a famous line from Basho in the ngrams（too long for the whole line). Same one mentioned on reddit:　
夏草や兵どもが夢の跡

Here it is on a rock:
https://id.foursquare.com/v/芭蕉句碑夏草や兵どもが夢の跡/5d8f75c1bc26ed00082f5346

It's on a few rocks apparently.  This page includes a plaque with a description, including an english translation (brown sign, have to scroll down)
http://jin0506.s28.xrea.com/framepage5ao.html
"The summer grass / 'tis all that's left / of ancient warriors dreams". 

This is a scholarly Japanese translation, more notes here. Might be worth an entry.
https://www.mlit.go.jp/tagengo-db/H30-00188.html

Anyway, the associated ngram counts:
夏草や兵どもが	4603
兵どもが夢の跡	12503	34.9%

兵どもが夢	16197
強者どもが夢	1998
つわものどもが夢	5150
ツワモノどもが夢	638

Obviously Basho will tilt toward the original kanji, but the poem itself also influences people's usage.
===

Side note for Robin's consideration in particular. (I'm just going to put the xref back so that you need to actually remove something again if unconvinced).

It is perfectly natural to reach this entry by searching for つわもの, ツワモノ(how I got here), or even 兵.  If this entry is the result of such a search, you won't see the separate entry for 強者.  In these circumstances, you may come to the conclusion that the reading of 強者 is つわもの.  For me, the reason for the xref is not to elucidate the meaning of this entry, but to warn that the the particular kanji associated with this term has separate, not-uncommon reading/meaning.　This is of particular relevance for this term because you are most likely to get here from a search that does not contain any of the kanji from 強者.

I guess you could make that argument for 兵 as well, but I think it's usually more obvious that a single character with a long Japanese reading is also going to have other definitions/readings if you look for them.

I literally did a second search just to make sure 強者 had the separate, expected entry, but I wouldn't have always thought to do that.

The kana is not common. Worth filling in the gap.

I restored that gloss because:
(a) it seemed justified by the reference in the 2020 submission
(b) I couldn't see where you justified its removal (*)
It's no big deal, and I'm happy to leave it off.

(*) I need to point out that long and rambling comments and voluminous (and often not very relevant) references in these submissions are not a lot of help to the people trying to edit them,  and often result in them being left until later. I, and I suspect others, would be helped if the comments and references were more focussed and succinct.

The sited GG5 glosses basically confirm what I added, and didn't say anything about surprise attacks.

"perform a surprise attack" looks like a hand-written gloss at the time of the original submission, without any dictionary support or consideration of existing J-E translations (the forum was a discussion among Chinese and Japanese speakers). I'm not trying to be antagonistic about the addition of this entry (I wouldn't have found this term had it not been submitted), but it just seems like an inaccurate, and ultimately misleading gloss.

「ずっと日本が押していて良い流れだったのに、一瞬の隙をつかれ、点を取られてしまった」はなんと言えばいいでしょうか？
Japan was in control of the game from the beginning.
But the opponent caught Japan off guard and got one point. (NOTE: uses 一瞬の)

Question about about the difference between this, and 隙を狙う (which we don't have, and maybe might add)
https://hinative.com/questions/14408944
answer:
yes, very similar.
but 隙をつく…more short time ?
隙をつく
隙をねらう
also we have a expression
「一瞬の隙をつく」
but both 隙をつくand 隙をねらう…are very similar, indeed.

一瞬 variant:
隙を突いて	21530	
一瞬の隙を突いて	4310	  
隙を狙う
一瞬の隙を狙う	123	  

Kanji use(used て form because this dominates):
隙をついて	32909	57.3%
隙を突いて	21530	37.5%
すきをついて	2248	3.9%
すきを突いて	742	1.3%

new glosses are consistent with huixing's original　Japanese definition, as well as various other online 和英 glosses (see references).

Some carefully worded translations on reverso also morph this into "take advantage of the opportunity", but this leverages the surrounding context. 
"took advantage of the sudden vacuum in military forces in the capital created by Kiyomori's departure",
where the "sudden lack of forces" is the opportunity/隙. (a gap in the usual defenses)

"to take advantage of a lapse in security/attention/etc".

Reverso has a particular tech example about "anyone being able to connect to your modem remotely, due to a lack of any firewall or network security".  (the lack of security being the 隙). 

The て form n-grams dominate. I think this is the pre-amble to the actual attack, something like "having taken advantage of a moment of inattention.... [attack, sneak in, sneak out, steal their wallet]"

Removed "someone" from "to catch someone off guard" just before posting.  Can be a person, a cat, an army, a nation,...

Moved the more-literal gloss to the first position, as it most closely aligns with the grammatical structure. (explain gap),その隙を突いて, or (gap qualifiersの)隙をついて。

The 一瞬の隙 version seems more clearly "a momentary lapse in attention..." "when the opponent dropped his guard for only a second..." 
... maybe also consider adding 一瞬の隙を突く, 隙を狙う.

And here is ChatGPT's response:
The Japanese term 亢竜有悔 (kōryū yūkai) is a proverb that can be translated to "Pride precedes a fall" or "When the dragon rises high, there is regret." This proverb warns against excessive pride or arrogance that may lead to failure, disappointment, or regret.

In the proverb, the dragon symbolizes a person's ambitions, power, or success. When the dragon becomes too confident and overreaches, it risks falling from a great height and experiencing regret. The proverb emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between ambition and humility, and being mindful of the risks and consequences of one's actions.

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT what this yoji means. It responded:
---
The Japanese term 急功近利 (kyūkōkinkuri) can be translated to "haste makes waste" or "short-term gain, long-term loss" in English. It is a proverbial expression that warns against seeking quick and easy solutions, shortcuts, or profits that may lead to negative consequences in the future. The term emphasizes the importance of taking a long-term perspective, working diligently, and making sound, well-informed decisions that consider the potential consequences and benefits over time.
---
Interesting.

For yojijukugo, if it's neither common nor in the major refs (JEs/kokugos), I don't think it's worth adding. I'd reject this one.
With this criteria, the recently added 亢竜有悔 should be dropped as well.
