| Comments: | I don't think it's a separate sense. あえない means something like "disappointingly fragile/fleeting". |

| Refs: | GG5, etc. Koj/Daijr split the senses. |
|
| Comments: | No-one splits but I wonder about fleeting/transient being in a separate sense. |

| Comments: | I'm reluctant to chop out the あえない, etc. readings. Many kanwas have them, although 広辞苑 only has あえて. One day I hope to align the readings and meanings, and that will group あえて with the positive ones and あえない with the negative. The original 訓読み was あう (i.e. ふ), but now the negative base only is used. |
