CommentRoy Miller [41(15)] gives the above translations. Google gets some 51k hits.

It would help to have this entry completed. Maybe, your experts will be able to expand the meaning because it seems to me that the coverage is potentially wider than given by Roy Miller, who has no doubt based the comment on context.

See also your [A] link and the following:-

型物質 【かたぶっしつ】 (?) ???; RH
型物質 【かたぶっしつ】 group substance; WI1

Perhaps the "RH" should be deleted and the "WI1" promoted.

Editorial Comment I recommend you look at the 大辞林 entry (e.g. using the Goo site) rather than rely on Roy Miller.

Headword 1趣味家
Reading 1しゅみか
Part-of-speechn
English 1connoisseur
English 2devotee
ReferenceSee below.
CommentRoy Miller [41(14)] gives "connoisseur" and I added "devotee" based your [A] link. Google gives a good number of hits, but I am not sure how many are based upon the complete headword because the "家" is sometimes separate.

You have other entries for "connoisseur" derived from various combination so perhaps you will consider including this one too.

Headword 2古窯趾
Reading 1こようし
Part-of-speechn
English 1ruins of old kilns

CommentRoy Miller's text [41] uses the 2nd headword. This headword gets about half the hits of the first on Google; only a few 1000s for each.

It would be useful to promote this so that the reading (confirmed by Roy Miller) is available for the novice.
