I believe sense 2 is [arch]. It's not in meikyo or the JEs.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>HiddenForm 言づける</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Maybe the priority tags should be downgraded to [ichi2]?

Our sense [2] isn't in meikyo 1e, which has 言付ける and 託ける in one entry.

Meikyo 2e splits 言付ける and 託ける into separate entries and has our sense [2] in the entry for 託ける. 

Oukoku has both kanji forms and both senses in one entry. Doesn't seem that it's archaic.

<upd_detl>Adding [arch] back to sense [2].</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>I just looked at this again and noticed I made two mistakes.
The split entry in Meikyo 2e that I referred to is actually an entry for かこつける rather than ことづける.
Oukoku has two senses for ことづける, but they're both (verbal message and parcel) covered by our sense [1].</upd_refs>
