	Refs:	All of my kokugos have 湮滅 as いんめつ.

	Refs:	daijs: (1st sense) " 跡形もなく消えてしまうこと。また、消すこと。「証拠を―する」" nikk: (1st sense) "うずもれてなくなること。あとかたもなく消えうせること。また、消してしまうこと。消滅。 daijr: (2nd sense) うずもれて跡形もなくなること。すっかりなくしてしまうこと。
	Comments:	based on the dictionary definitions I've listed I wanted to add "disappearing without a trace" to the definitions, but I'm not sure this is in common usage, the first page of hits on google seemed all to relate to the destruction of evidence... _ daijr merges 湮滅・▼堙滅 but has 隠滅 in a separate entry, though its 2nd def is just a redir to 湮滅・▼堙滅 daijs merges all nikk doesn't have 堙滅 but merges the other two
