I may not have understood it properly.

Did you imagine that the special rules for re-generating would be
implemented in lisp/Makefile?
In that case, are you saying that there is no need to modify the
leim/Makefile?
Certainly, if that is the case, you may be right.

For example, what about the idea of adding regenerate-ja-dic and
regenerate-ja-dic-without-reductoin as new special rules in
lisp/Makefile?

These rules are intended to be independent of the existing state and are
always intended to rules that can reliably regenerate dictionaries with
reduced vocabularies or without vocabulary reduction.

If that is the case, there should be no changes to the previous patch,
only new rules added.

Sorry if I missed the point.

Thank you,
