Re: [EDICT] Odd tsukeru

The following has been submitted for inclusion in EDICT/JMdict:

尾ける [つける] /(v1) to hunt a spy/to have a tail appendage/

I'm having a problem with it. I can find ~1,000 instances of
it in WWW pages, but can't confirm those meanings. 尾/お/ビ does
mean "tail" of course, but is not read つ.

Is it a typo for 着ける?

Or a visual pun meaning 着ける?

Help.

Well as already said the word is from 後を付ける (most often written with that kanji) and the kanji is from 尾行する

I don't think you need an Edict entry for it unless you plan to include
勃つ　【たつ】
a much more popular "word" based on the same type of kanji substitution.
