  Comments:
Given that we don't have any other "[adjective stem]っ" entries, I'm not sure we should be making an exception for こわっ even if it is more common that こわ.
I suspect the reason that koj (and daijs) have こわ as an entry at all is that it's the only adjective that can be written in this form (when used as an interjection). With others, it's always 高っ, 寒っ, etc., never たか、さむ.

It strikes me odd to keep こわ but remove こわっ - my impression is that this is many more times common. Considering that こわ is in koj, I 
agree that we should keep that entry, but I'm wondering if we can't bend the 2/3 rule just a little (we've done it before) to include this 
in the こわ entry? Just a thought, though.

I agree with Marcus's comments about this under 2259840. Not needed.
