	Comments:	Very good analysis, and the same ratios apply to current WWW hits. Clearly that sense is not mainly クサ, and in fact クサ could probably be either hidden or simply dropped.

	Refs:	Sankoku doesn't mention the katakana form in its entry for くさ【草】. The n-grams below make me question whether it's actually common at all. We might be better off dropping the note.

	Comments:	The hiding of a form and just having a note is usually when it's usually a less common alternative way of writing that sense. Here a cannabis/marijuana sense would almost always be written クサ. If it's not visible, it should be in its own entry. I'll close this to shorten the queue and reopen for a bit.

	Comments:	We regularly hide uncommon surface forms and mention them in a note when they only apply to specific senses. This was done with 圧す and 捺す and in the entry for 押す just yesterday. クサ seems fairly marginal compared to 草, so I'm not sure what makes this case special. It would be weird if we wrote "esp. クサ" without having "クサ" displayed in the headwords, so I adjusted the wording to "usu. written as クサ." If it's going to be visible, I think we can change the note back.

	Comments:	Changing oK -> rK on 艸. Only nikkoku and the kanwas have it as くさ, so it might be okay to drop it entirely. Maybe we can adjust the wording in the new note so that we can hide クサ.
