(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	リコリス

(pos)	Verb (Ichidan)
(english1)	To be likely, etc. etc. See the current entry for 有り得る.
(reference)	See the previous submission, 得る.
(comment)	If you search on Google, this verb doesn't have any entries with godan conjugations whatsoever. It's definitely ichidan. It's possible that ありうる can be replaced entirely by ありえる in the dictionary.
Whether うる is still relevant is beyond me, though.

(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	甘草
(headw2)	リコリス
(kana1)	かんぞう
(pos)	Noun
(english1)	See the current entry for 甘草
(reference)	I searched on Google and got it (sort of) confirmed by a teacher. リコリス seems to be in use as well, and perhaps more widely understood than かんぞう.
(comment)	Sorry if this is a resubmission, but I suspect the previous one might have lacked an English description.
