	Refs:	Kokugos all lead with 如く. "若く" in corpus counts is much more likely to be わかく. The refs all mention that the first sense is usually in the negative as しくはない、しくはなし、しかず, etc. The smaller kokugos and JEs only have the first sense. Sankoku has a 文 tag. I think the second sense is archaic. Iwakoku notes at the end of its entry: もと、追いつく意。
