じょうが addition

Heya, where are you finding 乗駕 as a Japanese term? I'm not seeing it in my dead-tree dictionaries to hand, nor in Kotobank nor Weblio. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 16:36, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

@Eirikr: I got this from here (Weblio和英辞書). I'm not sure why it's not listed in Weblio but I checked the term at Google first to see whether it exists before adding it to the list. KevinUp (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

@KevinUp: Interesting. This looks like one of those domain-specific rare terms that often fall through the cracks and wind up missing from general-use dictionaries. It's even used on the JA WP -- search the ja:w:精液採取 page for 乗駕 and you'll see it three times as a verb construction with conjugations of する (suru), and once in a noun stack as 乗駕困難. Given the character meanings, the compound's sense is reasonable enough. Yet this term is missing from all monolingual dictionaries I have to hand. Only bilingual sources seem to have this, such as Weblio's E↔J (sourced from JMdict) as you found it, Jim Breen's EDICT, Eijiro, and Linguee.

Thanks for the find! I'll build out the entry. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 18:13, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
