  Comments:
We can swap sense 3 and 4.
There is quite a bit of overlap but, as the n-grams show, there's a clear preference for 鎮める in specific contexts, hence the split. I've tried to show this through examples. I think this is the best I can do.

  Comments:
Some comments/questions:
- the 15 Tanaka sentences seem to be 12 for sense 2 and 3 for sense 4. Should this be reordered?
- there seems to be a lot of overlap between senses 2, 3 and 5. I'd be uncertain in some of the example senses as to which to use. Can they be clarified at all?
