	Comments:	As Robin noted: "Daijs and koj have しばらく as a reading for 須臾." I'm following his suggestion and adding 須臾 (back) here. I'm tempted to tag it "iK", but since it's in respected 国語s I'll resist.

	Comments:	Fair enough. I'll reverse the first two senses (again), and refocus the proposed 須臾 entry. I'll revisit the sentence tagging.

	Refs:	daijr (sense 1): "長くはないが，すぐともいえないほどの時間が経過する「―お待ち下さい」「―して主人が現れた」" (sense 2): "ある状態がある程度長く続くさま。「―会わないうちにずいぶん大きくなったね」"
	Comments:	I actually think many of the sentences correspond to (current) sense 2 (for a short while; for a moment; etc.), which is sense 1 in daijr. It's not a particularly short period of time, so "for an instant" probably isn't appropriate. The other sense was meant to refer to much longer periods of time as in sentences like "しばらく雨が降っていない.　It hasn't rained for some time." ---- Daijs and koj have しばらく as a reading for 須臾.

6.	A* 2018-04-17 07:56:01 Jim Breen <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	I looked at retagging these. Of the 112 しばらく sentences, virtually all seem to be for sense 2, although it's hard to tell. I see the JEs don't attempt to split the first two senses. I suggest: (a) reversing the first two senses. (b) making it clearer that the short one is actually quite short. (c) removing 須臾/しゅゆ/すゆ into their own entry, which can xref to the (new) sense 2. I can't see that they're ever read "しばらく", and shouldn't have been merged. I'll hold off fixing the sentences.
