      Splitting off しょう as per my proposal.
Maybe this should be merged with 巧み. They share 2/3 senses.

      Only 巧み is adj-na, which we have as a separate entry.
I propose splitting out しょう into a separate entry. It's obsolete and only applies to the first sense.
I think "means; idea" comes from daijr's sense 4 but it's archaic and doesn't appear in daijs or koj. I suggest dropping it in favour of the "はかりごと。たくらみ。" sense, which is in daijr/s, koj and saito.
