| Comment | For what it's worth, Eijiro has 溜める and 溜まる in kana only (I have found many others as well). Again, for what it's worth, when I was last in Japan I noticed a real "dumbing down" of the language, especially amongst the young people and especially compared to what I experienced in the 70's. Also, Paul Blay has noticed a trend towards kana and away from kanji. I dunno if that helps you though. |

| Editorial Comment | With several different verbs pronounced たまる and ためる, the practice seems to be to write one of them in kana. According to GG5, the たまる one is 堪まる, and it doesn't say for ためる. The 中辞典 uses kana for both 堪る and 溜まる, and for ためる both 溜める and 貯める. I wish there were good metrics on this. Eijiro can't be taken as a guide, really. |

| Comment | This is a correction of the word "maldistribution", which seems rare to me & meaning is "unevenly distributed".
ALC has a couple more meanings. P.S. I had to resubmit this because of a space character after "偏在" - may be worth fixing since your system just drops the entry & some people might not bother to go back. |
