  Comments:
Not convinced about a merge with 匆々. No evidence it's used with senses 2 and 3, and may need a lot of restrictions.

  Comments:
I think 草々 and 匆々 should be merged, as in meikyo and shinmeikai. GG5 has a single 匆々 entry with a "'草々'とも" note on the "yours in haste" sense.

中辞典: 草々 Sincerely (yours); Yours truly.
ルミナス: Yours truly 
GG5 (匆々 entry): 【‘草々'とも】 〔手紙の結び〕 Yours in haste.
  Comments:
I don't think it has to be a literal translation. Worth making it align with 匆々.

  Comments:
Nothing about this conveys an idea of sincerely, although I get the allusion to an example English ending.  The meaning however is “in haste”.

I tried to add [see=1394180 ・前略[1]] but I get crazy output.
