紛らわす should be aligned with this entry. 紛らせる needs to be a separate entry that points here.

GG5 has both combined with 紛らせる in the same entry. We wouldn't do it that way, but perhaps they be aligned, and perhaps 紛らせる	can be added as "sK".

This appears to be (at least nearly) identical in meaning to 紛らわす, yet less common.
Perhaps we should align 紛らわす with this entry and add some cross references here?
