Daijr 3.0 only has きし, with つちのとみ given as a meaning. That's why I preferred it, but I'm really not fussed.

I'm happy to align all of them either way, but I think we should decide if it's the onyomi or kunyomi that comes first for all of these.
in the 甲子 entry, Rene said 
"pretty sure きのえね is most common (e.g. the only one that meikyo has and the one that wiki lists first) so listing it first and moving the usage tags"
but on the other hand, daijs only has actual entries for かっし, and then mention こうし and きのえね in the description, e.g.:
1 干支 (えと) の一。こうし。きのえね。
daijr does have entries for all 3 (at weblio - impossible to tell now at kotobank because the recent horrible "re-design")
jitsuyo only has きのえね
難読語辞典 only has こうし

searching for 丙午, the one that's seen a lot of discussion because of low birth rates, everyone seems to be calling it ひのえうま and nothing else
 (most provide hiragana)

on balance, Rene was maybe right, and if so, つちのとみ should come first here as well?
