      Aligning with other causative auxiliary entries

[see=2138470・成らしめる[1]] isn't needed
Xref to archaic variant isn't needed either in my opinion
    • Refs
      This isn't archaic. Sankoku and shinsen tag it [form], other references have neither [form] nor [arch]

Sense three:
  Nikk: （尊敬を表わす語の上に付いて）尊敬の意を強める。平安時代以後の用法。
  Sankoku: ②〔しめられる・しめたもう〕強い尊敬をあらわす。
  Meikyo: ❷ 《「しめ給う」などの形で》尊敬を表す。…なさる。
