<upd_refs>This appears to be (at least nearly) identical in meaning to 紛らわす, yet less common.
Perhaps we should align 紛らわす with this entry and add some cross references here?

<upd_detl>GG5 has both combined with 紛らせる in the same entry. We wouldn't do it that way, but perhaps they be aligned, and perhaps 紛らせる	can be added as "sK".</upd_detl>
