daijr and koj have this tagged as v4. daijs has v4 & v5, obunsha just has v5.

Daijr has examples from 新版歌祭文 (1780) and the tale of genji.
Daijs: 金色夜叉 (1897) and genji.
Koj: the pillow book and 蜻蛉日記 (974)
  Comments:
Probably safe to tag as archaic

sankoku: せく(咳く)
咳をする。しわぶく (no entry for しわぶく)

咳く	581
しわぶく	69

no apparent verb usage of this in the n-grams
咳一つ	912	73.8%
しわぶき一つ	279	22.6%. guessing this spelled out to avoid a "seki" reading
せき一つ	44	3.6%

せき and せく are huge, probably due to overlap with other terms.  In any case, this term isn't common.
  Comments:
せき 咳 and しわぶき 咳 (which seem more common than the verbs) are already one entry.
I guess you lose the conjugation table?  But this is a rare term to begin with.
