Editorial Comment Sigh. PLEASE check for exisiting entries. 瀝青/れきせい is there.
Not many dics have 歴青, but my guess is that it's taken over because 瀝 is non-常用. The ちゃん reading seems not to be used with 歴青.

Comment>I wonder why they do that.

==

Perhaps it's used in Chinese martial arts or calisthenics or something similar?

They do get a decent amount of hits though.

"イー アル サン" = 30000 hits

we have 'one', 'two', 'three' in english, so it might be worth adding chinese readings as well, perhaps in separate entries to clarify that it's chinese

Editorial Comment Is ス ever associated with 四 in Japanese? I have no problem with an entry like "ス /(n) one (Chinese)/", balancing the "ワン /(n) one ..." entry, but I'd like evidence that 四 ever gets a ス reading in Japanese.

CommentFor きれっと, GG5 has: "【登山】 〔尾根にできた深い切れ込み〕 a gap."
I have added an entry: "きれっと;キレット /(n) gap (in a mountain ridge)/"
Add as a sense to 窓? (GG5 doesn't have it there..)

Comment大辞林 says this is a (ctr) and only has the reading じ.

広辞苑 does have a (し) version that forwards to the じ entry.

Overall the 広辞苑 version is a heck of a lot more complicated than 大辞林's and I don't really want to get into it but swapping the order of the readings and adding ctr as a pos option would probably be a good idea.

CommentI suggest that (exp) entries like this fall into two categories - those that are freely conjugated and those that are idiomatic phrases (pretty much) only used in the form listed. Adding the verb pos to these entries allows (in theory) third party software to recognize conjugated forms as the same expression.
