Current Entry捩る [もじる] /(v5r,vt) to parody/to wrench/to twist/
Headword 1捩る
Reading 1もじる
Part-of-speechv5r,vt
English 1(1) to parody
English 2(2) (arch) to wrench
English 3to twist
Comment"GG5 has the twist/distort sense first. So does Sanseido EXCEED."

==

Hmmm. I can't speak for GG5, but I think you might have been looking at the wrong Sanseido entry. Sanseido omits twist/distort altogether for もじる:
もじる 捩る
(make a) parody (of).

ねじる 捩る
twist; 《ゆがめる》distort.
よじる 捩る
⇒捩(ねじ)る.


marking the 2nd sense as (arch) seems to jive well with the kokugo dictionaries, since all the example sentences they give are from classic lit.


i.e.

もじ・る[もぢる] 2 【▼捩る】
1(動ラ五[四])
[1]笑いや風刺のため、他の著名な文句などに似せて表現する。
・『古今和歌集』を―・って『故混(ここん)馬鹿集』という
[2]ねじる。よじる。
・すじり―・り、えい声を出して〔出典: 宇治拾遺 1〕

Editorial Comment OK, I'll change the order, but hold off on the arch. Too many JEs that normally avoid archaisms have it.
