 * Not in Daijirin, but it does appear in my dead-tree copy of Shogakukan's 国語大辞典 (Big Japanese Dictionary), and Google Books finds some valid instances as well. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:39, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for verifying it. I'm sorry, Google OCR didn't pick up the second character in Daijiten, and I've noticed that Google has trouble with rare characters in Japanese (see Talk:擂茶). Nibiko (talk) 02:12, 12 August 2017 (UTC)


 * , just to be sure, it's 乾芻, not 乾蒭, right? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry for belated reply, just saw the question... @justin(r)leung,  does return what appear to be valid instances.  Notably, none of the hits show proper preview -- only Google's broken "snippet view", which only shows Google's sometimes-faulty OCR results.  So theoretically all of these hits for 乾芻 could actually be misrecognized hits for 乾蒭 instead, and we have no way of knowing, short of tracking down physical copies of the books.
 * I was incorrect earlier, thank you for confirming -- Shogakukan lists 乾蒭 with the 艸|艹 radical, and has no listing for the 乾芻 spelling. That said, Shogakukan has other entries like,  showing what appears to be free variation in spelling between 芻 and 蒭.
 * Meanwhile, Nelson's Japanese-English Character Dictionary lists 乾芻, but not the 乾蒭 spelling. Nelson's has no entry at all for the 蒭 character, only for the 芻 character.
