N4 Vocab: 包む(つつむ)- New pronunciation?

Am I crazy or was this specific N4 word pronounced つつむ instead of くるむ?

Hi @nex_gm !

The reading of つつむ is correct for this entry. It originally had furigana for くるむ, but it was an error and the entry was actually intended for つつむ. So, we’ve and corrected the furigana (since the meaning of くるむ is included in くるむ and both readings work in the contexts). Since all the example sentences were written with the meaning of くるむ, we’ll replacing them with new sentences to cover broader meanings of つつむ. As for くるむ, although there’re no example sentences yet, we have an entry here: 包む | Bunpro

Sorry for the inconvenience :bowing_woman:
