I have been studying classic Japanese literature, and I have found that Yomitan's dictionaries do not contain enough (if at all) archai words. Currently, I have Jitendex [2023-12-10] rev.3.0, KireiCake rev.rikai2, JMnedict rev.JMnedict.2023-12-11, and KANJIDIC rev.kanjidic2 . Some of the words that it couldn't parse are, for example, 思ふ, 得め, etc

Would it be possible to add a more archaic-focused dictionary?

Get some monolingual dictionaries, particularly weblio古語辞典. 思ふ is parsed by various monolingual dictionaries in addition to that one. Dictionaries are community supported though, you could make one yourself if you find a good data source. Related: FooSoft#2285

I'd also say to remove Kireicake (#195) and get more monolingual dictionaries if you're reading classical literature.

So I'd have to find someone that has made a dictionary from that source, right? Or do you know somewhere where I could get it?
