	Comments:	The えいきゅう/とわ entry is an uncomfortable merge. I'm in favour of a separate 永久/永遠/とわ entry.

	Comments:	i think a separate 永久/永遠/とわ makes more sense, should probably be [poet] or [form] ruigo reikai:「とわ」は、文学的表現として使われることが多い。 sankoku:〔雅〕 smk:「永久」の意の古風な表現。 shinkoku: 文章語

	Comments:	We currently have とわ as a reading in the 永久 entry, along with えいきゅう. Perhaps 永遠 can be added there as [sK]?. I don't think a distinct 永遠/とわ entry is needed. Alternatively we could have a 永久/永遠/とわ entry, but even then 永遠 would probably be [rK] or [sK].

	Comments:	sankoku, smk, meikyo, jawiki all have とわ for both 永遠 and 永久 i just found it used this way for 永遠. i think there should be a separate とわ entry

	Comments:	An interesting one. Unidic has 永遠/とわ as a variant form of 永久/とわ. GG5 and 中辞典 have 永久/えいきゅう and 永久/とわ entries, while we have a combined 永久/えいきゅう/とわ entry. Also 永遠/とわ is being used as a female given name and is part of 永遠子, 永遠花, etc. See: https://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?2MDJ�ʱ� My inclination is to have it just in the 永久 entry.

	Refs:	koj has とわ【常・永久】 I'm not sure whether it should be included here or not. feels like わけ rubi on 理由 (which I now looked up and realize we include as an ik in the 理由 entry)

	Comments:	I encountered this furigana for 永遠 and upon investigation, it seems like a legitimate reading of this kanji. According to the hinative question above, it sounds more poetic than えいえん.
