This word doesn't exist in the dictionary?

On bunpro there is the word 滑らす. That takes the ずらす reading instead of すべらす. The issue is that for ずらす the 滑 kanji doesn’t have a reading for ず it uses すべ.

Am I missing something? Why did they choose this kanji?

Might be a mistake.

Both Bunpro and Jisho (and afaik everyone else) import JMDict dictionary.
The kanji was removed from JMDict entry for ずらす back in 2022.

I have a feeling that similar issues had already been mentioned on these forums before.

Edit:
I believe example sentences in this entry are for ずらす, not for すべらす.

I checked a few Japanese dictionaries, and indeed couldn’t find any references to the kanji usage here for ずらす.

I’ve changed it to be hiragana only.

Thanks for the report!

This thing will not happen just in this case. There are other words where the reading is NOT listed for that kanji.

for exaple: N1 word–>長閑な reads NODOKANA and I promise you neither the 長 nor the 閑 have those readings listed in the vocabularies.

のどか seems to be indeed a jukujikun of 長閑

Interestingly enough it’s referenced here.
