| Refs: | Readings * Daijr/s and koj have this recorded as しょうら. * Iwakoku, obunsha, and kanjipedia have it as さるおがせ. Iwakoku says it's a jukujikun. Senses * The second sense is only in daijr/s and koj. They all say basically the same thing and reference 源平盛衰記 (late Kamakura period). They say it's figuratively used to refer to the strength of vows (契り) between a couple (男女). Google N-gram Corpus Counts ╭─ーー─┬─────╮ │ 松蘿 │ 309 │ ╰─ーー─┴─────╯ |
