  Comments:
I think we should - both Daijirin and GG5/KOD separate them, with the dance sense in katakana. The etymology is quite different.
I'll move sense 1 out into another entry. WWW images for パラパラ are mostly dancing and for ぱらぱら a mix but with quite a bit of sprinkling. I'll reindex the sentences too.

  Comments:
So should we split sense 1 out into a separate entry?

  Comments:
The 3 sentences all point to sense 2.

  Comments:
I agree it shouldn't come first but it probably shouldn't be buried at the bottom of the entry either. If it's a separate entry in the kokugos, I think we can do the same.
