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.

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

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].

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
