退ける marks のける as incorrect

WaniKani Bugs & Errors
1

退ける has three different readings:

  • しりぞける
  • のける
  • どける

Of these, I believe only the first is a Joyo reading, but the other two are at least decently common; I’ve definitely run into のける in the wild, and Jisho lists it as a common word and JLPT N2 level.

The meaning of のける and どける are slightly different than that of しりぞける, so I agree that they shouldn’t be accepted as “correct”, but I figure they should shake and give a little “This isn’t the reading we’re looking for” notification.

Edit: I should note that I was using the iOS app Tsurukame. I think it has the same warnings as WaniKani, because it definitely does the shakey-Jake every once in a while, but perhaps there could be some deviant items.

@Mods what do you think?

Huh… Seems like they’re supposed to be on the shakey list already:

Hmm, interesting. I should have mentioned that I used the Tsurukame app, but it normally shakes in the same places that the ordinary WaniKani reviews do, so I didn’t think that would be relevant.

(Unfortunately, that also means I could mark myself as correct, so I won’t be able to test it again for another week.)

I resurrected the item from being burned to test it.

Let’s see in a week whether Tsurukame does the same

Will be sure to check! However, it seems that if it does get marked as an error, it must be an issue with the app, not with WaniKani. Thank you for checking!

I can confirm のける is a grey shake for 退ける on WaniKani.
