It's v5uru. Standard -得る construction.
Don't use "http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org" as a source. The Japanese section is a mess, and largely based on an old EDICT copy, over which the site owner claims copyright. |

| Comment | I don't know how best to organize 甥、甥子、and 甥御, and besides, I can't find definitive references. So this is just a comment: I think both 甥子 (one's own nephew, or referring to another's nephew generally) and 甥御 (someone else's nephew, used with respect) are read おいご. Also, 甥子 is also written 甥っ子、but in this case case it is read おいっこ.

I've made a merged 甥子/甥っ子 entry.

| Comment | Regarding "The correct reading is あいそう を つかす,
not: あいそ を つかす。" Reference? It's あいそをつかす in 大辞林 although given that 愛想(あいそう) redirects to 愛想(あいそ) quite possibly both apply in theory with あいそ being the more common. |

| Comment | Why is (1) (v5s,vt) but (2) just (v5s) ?
Logically (2) would only be 無くす, so you could add a (無くす only). Don't know if that is the case for certain, though. I almost made "to prevent the occurrence (existence) of" a separate entry (as it is in 大辞林) but the dividing line is rather fuzzy. Sentences like 新しい政府は国から腐敗を無くすと約束した。 are difficult to classify between (2) and the 'prevent the occurrence of' one. |
