Commentno dictionary has "to reduce the price", although that sounds familiar for some reason (perhaps from edict itself, though). perhaps with a (sl) or (col)

i'm not sure to practice (practice) belongs there either. work (on) ~~ covers it pretty well

not sure where "come into play" is supposed to fit in, either

Comment一熟(ateji) = いちじゅく only

むかか=無花果 only

also add reading イチヂク (no room above)...


personally, i would say いちぢく/イチヂク belongs in here with an (ik). i would have guessed it was (ok), but it doesn't appear to be, since it doesn't turn up in any of the kokugojisho archaic kana entries
