CommentExcuse me if I have missed something, but the existing entry carries the comment "(exp) (1) (after neg. stem of verb)".

It seems to me that the headword is in fact the negative expression which is applied to the plain verb form which has been modified for a negative ending. Otherwise the headword would be only "-ても良い".

I have suggested an amendment which I trust properly reflects this.
