The other senses are covered by our よる and によって entries. I think it's best to keep them separate. The other senses aren't conjunctions.
I think we can drop 縁って from here (and possibly add it to よる [1168660]). Most of the hits seem to be for 縁(えん)+って(quotative particle).

It gets quite a few hits, possibly because of things like 木に縁って魚を求む.
I see most JEs have multiple senses for this entry.

I'm not seeing 縁って in my refs. Can we drop it?
Don't like "because of".
