	Comments:	I just noticed that there are a couple of Tanaka sentences with the "only" meaning (in the form "わずかに...しか") so I'll add another sense.

	Refs:	gg5, prog, Wisdom
	Comments:	Splitting into senses. Although GG5 has "only; just; merely" for わずかに, that meaning is almost always expressed without the に (e.g. わずか100円, not わずかに100円). The examples in the JEs confirm this. We now have an "only; just; merely" adverb sense on the わずか entry so I think this entry is fine without those glosses.

	Comments:	I think it's fine, as the gloss is different from the glosses of わずか ('a small quantity' -> 'slightly' takes a bit of a mental jump for me) not bad as an 英和 entry either.
