うまい might also be a candidate for (uk). |

| Comment | Any interest in linking to 当てはまる(P); 当て嵌まる 【あてはまる】 (v5r) to apply (a rule); to be applicable; to come under (a category); to fulfill My feelings will not be seriously damaged if the venn diagrams of meaning do not overlap enough. I would probably use them as synonymous with the addition of context qualifiers. |

| Editorial Comment | I suspect they are not quite close enough at present. If we were to go into heavy annotation of synonyms, that might be a time to add it. |

| Comment | I came upon this organization in a manga I am deciphering: 都立水商!, Vol. 4, p.62, ISBN4-09-153104-0. I thought it might be fictional, but a Google search found many examples of this exact kanji sequence, including the official website. I'm very surprised that MEXT was not already in the corpus of my most trusted Japanese language resource, so I'm taking time to add it. |
