| Refs: | 手が離せない 20535 手が放せない 2076 手がはなせない 807 Eijiro (several examples, e.g. "今ちょっと手が放せないんだ : I'm a kind of in the middle of something."), Tanaka: 申し訳ありませんが、ただいまルーニー氏は手が放せません。 |

| Comments: | A lot of people are using 放せない, probably because it's the same reading and a similar meaning. I'm not sure it warrants an "iK". Not sure the "being" is needed. |
