| Part-of-speech | n |

| English 2 | stagnation |
| Comment | 欝積 【うっせき】 (n) congestion; stagnation [G][GI][S][A]
鬱積 【うっせき】 (n,vs) suppression [V][G][GI][S][A] Combine these entries and perhaps add うっ積 as well. The meanings are also a bit vague, "pent up (anger/discontent)" or "suppressed (anger/discontent)" would be better. Congestion and stagnation are IMHO far off the mark. 不平不満などが心にたまること。 |

A Google search seems to confirm that current usage for シュラフ and シュラフザック is without the long vowel mark. |

Additionally, trying to type シュラーフザック makes my IME (Anthy) suggest odd kanji, while シュラフザック converts directly into katakana, indicating it recognizes the latter as a katakana word. |
