  Comments:
I've split sense 2 into two senses. Only daijr splits like this but I think it's much clearer. Doesn't affect the sentences.
Revised existing glosses.

Of the 188 Tanaka sentences there seem to be none for sense 2. They're all for senses 1 and 3 AFAICT. I'm taking the liberty of reversing the order in this entry.
