| Editorial Comment | Interesting one. Only Daijirin has it, and says it's an 二段 verb, the modern equivalent of which is 狭める. It gets enough hits to be worth including, 狭んで, so the v5m seems valid. I wonder if it's a recent back-formation from 狭める? |

I'm pretty sure that in sentences like １０人中３人はビデオを持っている。 中 is read ちゅう. I think the nearest existing sense would be (5), so I've categorised them there for the meantime. |
