Very good analysis, and the same ratios apply to current WWW hits. Clearly that sense is not mainly クサ, and in fact クサ could probably be either hidden or simply dropped.

Sankoku doesn't mention the katakana form in its entry for くさ【草】.
The n-grams below make me question whether it's actually common at all. We might be better off dropping the note.

The hiding of a form and just having a note is usually when it's usually a less common alternative way of writing that sense. Here a cannabis/marijuana sense would almost always be written クサ. If it's not visible, it should be in its own entry.
I'll close this to shorten the queue and reopen for a bit.

Quiet

GG5: くさはら - a grassy plain; a meadow; a green (field).
GG5: そうげん - a 「grassy [grass-covered] plain; grassland(s); 〔熱帯･亜熱帯の〕 a savanna(h); 〔南アフリカの〕 a veld(t); 〔北米の〕 a prairie; 〔南米アマゾン川以南の〕 the pampas; 〔南米アマゾン川以北の〕 a llano 《pl. ～es》; 〔ロシア･中央アジアの〕 a steppe.

Meadow and prairie shouldn't be in the same sense. The kokugos and JEs mostly have distinct そうげん and くさはら entries. We've attempted a merge. I'd leave it the way it is, but if it were to change, it probably should break into two entries rather than just have one sense.

Meikyo, gakkoku only have 1 sense. Maybe we should follow their lead? 2 senses feel overly granular to me.

草原	1132878
そうげん	20852
くさはら	2629
くさわら	64
The "Ichiman" only has 草原/そうげん, also the (rough) Google counts for 草原+そうげん are 10 times more than those for 草原+くさはら.

I haven't found https://furigana.info/ to be reliable on relative frequencies.

https://furigana.info/w/草原
くさはら	79.7%
くさばら	6.3%
そうげん	2.5%

Yes, it's JIS213 (and Unicode).

曆 seems to be an illegal character screwing up text glossing.  for example, 
because of it, this is given as an example sentence for たいようれき:
     マリーゴールドは太陽とともに起きる。	The marigold rises with the

The above site notes that he died on 4th September 2010

rejecting in accordance with above (and with lack of further comment)

it doesn't seem that uncommon, but it fails the other prong of my test for how idiomatic something is: 'eijiro has it'.  gg5 doesn't have it either

i could go either way, leaning towards 'unneeded'

These sorts of adjective+noun formations are problematical. If they are not common and obvious from the components, my inclination is to leave them out, despite them being in Eijiro, etc. If they are very common, or have a rather idiomatic meaning, then they should go in.

I'm inclined to leave this one out. Other views?

See below.

This submission would match the other similar entries in the main dictionary. Although it only gets about 2k of Google hits, it appears in text which I am reading and also it matches normal thinking.
