Sichuanese
Could you tell me where you got the Sichuanese readings from? I'm a bit sceptical about the disyllabic readings. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 21:27, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I just copied this off of the zh-wiki page, the table lists two sources, but's not clear which one this entry is from. I do concur though, it really doesn't make sense that it has two syllables when the second is just 子.--Prisencolin (talk) 00:12, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I've removed it for now, since it's not very sure what they're referring to. What they're probably referring to is usually written as . — justin(r)leung { (t...) 00:50, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

What does 長尻大根 mean?
Somehow the furigana put it like ながどまり, would it be a kind of nanori reading? ref: https://hojishinbun.hoover.org/?a=is&oid=jan19130227-01.1.2&type=snippetimage&e=---en-10--81--img-%e5%b0%bb-- / https://hojishinbun.hoover.org/?a=d&d=jan19130227-01.1.2&srpos=88&e=---en-10--81--img-%e5%b0%bb-- The Young Prussian (talk) 20:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Presumably some sort of jukujikun, or mere stylistic positioning of text, considering, but in the end this is only one (1) advertisement. See WT:ATTEST. —Fish bowl (talk) 21:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * This one is definitely some kind of jukujikun, putting unrelated kanji and readings together. This covers things like, where the kanji and reading have no direct relationship.
 * For, the meaning is something like "long-tailed daikon". The reading works out to something like "long (overnight) stay" (as a guess; this depends on which of the many meanings of とまる we decide to use), maybe as a marketing ploy -- implying, "this variety of daikon is sooooo long that you can feed your guests for several days!"
 * At any rate, the instance in that old newspaper ad of is not sufficient grounds for creating any entries, nor for assuming any がど reading for 尻.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't read Japanese, but I recognize a few of the kanji from Beginning Mandarin eons ago. At any rate, I couldn't help noticing that the texts in the right 5 boxes in the closer view all end with 大根 and (with the exception of a possible match between the second and third) each with a different furigana reading. Since those characters can be read as "big" followed by "root" or as "daikon", I wouldn't be surprised if the meaning of 大根 varied quite a bit, as well. I would guess that it took quite a bit of reworking to get them all to line up neatly like that, and the whole thing is no doubt about as natural as a highly structured poem. I really doubt that anyone would say something like that in actual speech. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I had a look at the fuller newspaper page, showing more of the ad text. Of note:, shown on the right of the table.  I suspect that the table content is a list of daikon varieties for which seed is now available, each variety with its own fanciful marketing name.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 07:55, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

 * ja.wt is not authoritative
 * not a kun-reading, as it is not a stand-alone word
 * A search in JMnedict is not promising (compare a search for しり)


 * Re: use in names, see also https://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?2MUL尻 -- this includes the name with the reading Ikegami
 * That said -- I just plowed through ALL several-hundred name entries in ENAMDICT that include 尻, and the ONLY one with the gami reading is this Ikegami. I suspect that we may be better served by treating this as "irregular" rather than "nanori", since a nanori reading is expected to show up in names not all that infrequently.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:07, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
