Missing dictionary definitions for some words

I believe this word should display a definition since the popup window shows and it appears to be in JMdict (https://jisho.org/search/%E5%9B%BD%E3%81%AA%E3%81%BE%E3%82%8A).

This doesn't happen too frequently but it certainly isn't the first time I've encountered it (can't be more specific sorry!)

What's happening is that in the subs the word appears in a mixed kanji-kana form (国なまり), whereas in the dictionary it only occurs in the full-kanji form (国訛). In theory it would be possible to try to be smart enough to find the match, but it's unlikely I will get around to this. FWIW I tried it in Yomichan (which has a much smarter lookup than Voracious) and it also failed to match this one :\
