I wasn't able to find 甘じる or 甘ずる verb in dictionaries I looked at. Is it a
typo of 甘んじる?




Considering this is an example sentence in a modern J-E dictionary, yes, I
believe this is a typo. At least in standard Japanese, it should be written as
甘んじている.

[BCCWJ corpus](http://pj.ninjal.ac.jp/corpus_center/bccwj/) returned only one
result for 甘【あまん】じる ("屈辱に甘じているのだ" in a novel published in 2002), and there may
be a few other instances where old writers used 甘【あまん】じる. But let's not care
about that too much.
