Current Entry相反 [そうはん] /(adj-pn) reciprocal/antithetic/contrary/
Headword 1相反
Reading 1そうはん
Part-of-speechadj-pn
English 1reciprocal
English 2antithetic
English 3contrary
CommentI am in uncharted water here, because this is not an expression I use. So please forgive. However, with regard to the following: I do not find most of the そうはん readings anywhere and only a couple (相反定理 and利益相反) are barely mentioned. neither of which I am familiar with. The only readings that comes up with very limited frequency are あいはん.
相反 【あいはん】 (vs) to be contrary; to run counter to; to conflict
相反 【そうはん】 (adj-pn) reciprocal; antithetic; contrary
相反性 【そうはんせい】 (adj-na) reciprocal
相反定理 【そうはんていり】 (n) reciprocity theorem (physics)
相反的 【そうはんてき】 (adj-na,adv) reciprocal; reciprocally
利益相反 【りえきそうはん】 (n) conflict of interest

Editorial Comment GG5 has quite a large entry for 相反/そうはん, and lists the following 熟語:
相反交配[交雑] 【生物】 reciprocal crossing.
相反雑種 【生物】 a reciprocal hybrid.
相反神経支配 【生理】 reciprocal innervation.
相反性 【物】 reciprocity.
相反則 【写真】 the law of reciprocity; the reciprocity law.
相反則不軌 《compensate for》 reciprocity law failure.
相反定理 【物】 the 「reciprocity [reciprocal] theorem.
相反的 reciprocal 《effect》.
It seems to be a rather technical term, and the 熟語 get small numbers of WWW hits - in the low thousands.

ポテトフライは和製英語なので、フライドポテトかフレンチフライなどと呼ぶのがよいいでしょう。日本では、フレンチフライと呼ぶことが多いようです。この時のフレンチは、元来さやいんげんをフランス風に切ることをさし、その形に似せた拍子木形揚げポテトをフレンチフライと呼んだそうです。

Editorial Comment Since it's the passive form of 襲う, I'm not surprised. 広辞宛 doesn't include 襲われる, presumabaly for that reason. GG5 *does* have it: "be attacked; be set upon; be struck; be visited."
If someone wants to put in an entry, I won't object (hint.)

They were Yahoo counts, although when I last checked Google was more likely to inflate figures than Yahoo on average.

I threw it at Altavista for a third opinion and they said
