This is not a lexical item, so much as a grammar point -- this consists of verb ending and the auxiliary verb. If anything, this should be a note at either or  or both, but not an entry unto itself.

 * When things have contractions do they get entries? There's (contraction) てる (-teru) Troll Control (talk) 12:18, 25 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak keep as a grammar point with a contraction. Troll Control (talk) 08:48, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * As a rough analogy for the contraction, this might be like having an English entry at for third-person singular verb ending -s + -n't.  It's just weird.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 06:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , to clarify my intent from earlier, in English words like or, we parse this as  or  + contracted suffix  from .  Note that we do have an entry for , but we don't have an entry for .  We don't consider the verb ending  to be part of the contraction.
 * Similarly, in, I'd argue that the contraction isn't that itself is transforming, as the  remains unchanged.  Rather, the  shortens to just .  I don't think we should consider the verb ending  to be part of the contraction.
 * As such, I recommend that we include information about the contracted form in the entry, and not at either of the oddly segmented entries  or.
 * , other JA editors -- what are your thoughts? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and move the content to and, the latter being clearly a single morpheme. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Neutral on deletion, but regarding てる: what about とる＜ておる？ —Suzukaze-c (talk) 02:08, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete but Keep /. いる contracts in this manner only after て/で so て/で can be considered involved in this contraction, which is different from "-s" in "-sn't". -- Huhu9001 (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Change to abstain as I can see it's messy. Troll Control (talk) 11:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
