The Man'yōshū and kanji readings
Hello Sarumaru --

Generally speaking, we don't list readings for kanji when the readings are only found in ancient poetry, much as we don't list readings for kanji when the readings are only found in modern manga. Such uses are regarded here as too unusual to be worthy of inclusion.

In addition, I just searched my local digital copy of the Man'yōshū, and I cannot find any usage of the word at all, in any spelling. Can you tell me which poem it's in? The text is available online at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/manyoshu/AnoMany.html.

Kind regards,
