	Comments:	For 聴く, I'm not sure which option is best but I definitely think 訊く would be better as a separate entry.

	Comments:	With 6 of the 8 senses restricted to 聞く, including sense 1, I wonder if 聴く and 訊く should be moved out. I'll approve and reopen.
9.	A* 2020-01-16 21:39:20 Robin Scott <...address hidden...>
	Refs:	daij, meikyo, gg5, prog
	Comments:	That restriction means that only 訊く is used for sense 3, which isn't correct. The only way to indicate that 訊く only applies to sense 3 is to add restrictions to all the other senses. A cleaner solution (and what I propose) is to split 訊く out into its own entry which points here. Most of the refs don't include it as a headword, only as a "「訊く」とも書く" note. --- I've added a couple of senses.
