Japanese. Brought to my attention as I was vetting the contributions of GinNike0000 (talk • contribs), a problematic editor and apparent block evader.
The entry is nearly completely wrong -- pretty much just the reading, historical spelling, and POS are correct.
- Should probably be lemmatized to include the okurigana し.
- Actually a synonym for 帽額 (mokō), a kind of short curtain hung from the top of a horizontal frame to decorate the top of a screen or scrim. See also the Kotobank entry for mokō at https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%B8%BD%E9%A1%8D-645459
- A 天冠 (tenkan), or better yet a 額当て (hitaiate), is what the original editor must have been thinking of. The latter is apparently worn by next-of-kin at funerals, giving this associations with the dead. See also https://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%A4%A9%E5%86%A0-577622 for 天冠 and https://kotobank.jp/word/%E9%A1%8D%E5%BD%93-2077397 for 額当て.
The linked "See alsos" will also need fixing.

- Done. Took a while - I finally came back to this. Reworked, with main entry now at the hiragana spelling ひたいかくし. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
