17, 120.
=komatsurugi=, Koma or straight sword; Koma was one of the four Korean
kingdoms. The sword had a ring, _wa_, at the end of the hilt, hence the
application of the m. k. to _wa_, in Wazami no hara, Wazami Moor; to
_wa ga kokoro_ (my heart) as sound-quibble, 24.
=komomakura=, _komo_ is a kind of rush (also sea-grass, Zostera), a
pillow made of such. Used with _ahimakishi_ (rolled up); with _taka_
confused with _taku_ = _maki-tsukanu_.
=komorikuno=, enclosed (by hills)--applied to Hatsuse (pl. n.), 12, 15,
45, 179.
=komorinuno= (_numa_), a pond or marsh enclosed and hidden (by reeds);
used with _shita_, under, lower; with _mizu_, not-see, 125.
=komotatami=, _komo_, (rush) matting; applied to Heguri (pl. n.), _he_
taken as = fold or thickness. _Heguri no aso_ in the Manyôshiu seems to
mean a fish, _tachi-uwo_ (Trichiurus lepturus?).
=konokureno=, tree-dark, as when foliage becomes abundant in fourth
month, _u no tsuki_, hence used with _u_ (_tsuki_), also with
_shigeki_, crowded abundant; _-- shigeki omohi_, crowded thoughts, 245.
=koragatewo=, a girl’s hand, or arm, or sleeve; applied to Makimuku
(hill-name), _maki_ read as = hold, enfold.
=koromote=, sleeve of a garment; used with Hitachi (province), _hita_

similarity of _taka_ with _taguru_, to haul, pull with arm; with
_wori-tamu_ (_wori-tamotohoru_, wander about), _wori-tamoto_ = roll
back sleeve; with _ashige no uma_, reed-grey horse, the peculiar
etymology of which is that _ashige_ may be read as a corruption of
_osoki_ = _uhagi_ = outer dress, which of course would have a sleeve!
110, 157.
=kotohiushino= (_kotohi_), a great bull; used with Miyake no ura (Bay
of M.); _miya_ = _mika_ = _mi_ (or _ma_) _ya_, thus _miyake_ = _mika
ke_, abundance of hair, as a bull is supposed to have (a Chinese idea;
comp. ‘one hair of nine bulls’ as an infinitesimal proportion), 116.
But, perhaps, the m. k. only = grand, and _kotohi_, a sacred bull.

kokoro_, show feeling by change of colour? 64, 106, 216.
=kusakageno=, grass-shade; applied to Arawi Cape, but the use here is

withering (_aru_) of vegetation under the shadow of tall grasses or
herbs.)
=kusamakura=, grass pillow, pillow of herbs, while on a journey often
the only available one; used with _tabi_, journey, also with _tago_ for
_hatago_, a basket to hold food for a journey, 1, 4, 12, 23, 40, 49.

=managotsuchi.= There is a place called Manago ura. The m. k. is
written ‘beloved-child’, and is used by sound-quibble in _Managotsuchi
manaho ni shite_, where _manaho_, &c. = right, truly, just. In
_managotsuchi manaku tokinashi aga kofuraku ha_, _manago_ may be =
_masago_, and the whole mean, my love is so unceasing, that not even
the interval of a grain of sand is to be found in its continuity.
Probably _managotsuchi_ = simply sandy soil.
=mashimidzuno=, pure cold water; applied to _kokoro mo keya ni_,

hand or arm, the m. k. implies strength, 40, 52, 64, 216.

means ‘forked’, also ‘again’, 172.
=matorisumu=, where the true-bird dwelleth, i.e. _washi_, the eagle;
used with Unade no mori (the grove of Unade)--_Unade_ is written
cloud-ladder which may give a clue to the meaning of the m. k. The Kogi
rather applies it to _mori_ (_mamori_).
=Matsuchiyama=, a hill-name; it seems to involve merely a sound-quibble
with _moto tsu hito_ (written, men of old) and _matsuramu imo_ (my love
who will await me, or whom I await).
=matsugaheri=, a difficult word of which several more or less futile
explanations are given. Here is one more. The m. k. is used with
_shihite_, compellingly, &c., may it not mean, as certainly as come
round the cycles of the everlasting pine-tree!
=matsuganeno=, pine-tree-root; used with words denoting length of time
or space; also endlessness, as with _tayuru koto naku_, ceasing is-not.
The use of the m. k. with _kimi ga kokoro_ is not explained--is it with
_kokoro_ as = _ki_(_ko_) _koru_, fell timber, 47, 257.
=matsukaheno=, like pine and yew (Torreya nucifera, S. et Z.), or,
oak, sp.; epithet applied to words of enduring and flourishing, as to

a _tanka_ where the sense seems to be ‘as close as the rushes in fence
wattled with them’.
=midzukakino=, written water-fence, but the meaning is shining,
i.e. fine fence; used with _hisashiki_, ‘for a long time’, because
in Midzukaki no Miya dwelt the Mikado Suzhin, and it was hoped the
_miya_ might long endure--that is the reign, the two being regarded as
conterminous.
=midzukukino=, like shining stem; applied to _woka_ (knoll), _woka_

_futa_, lid, is homophon of Futa [kami], twain gods.

Hill), or may be written erroneously for _umi wo_, spool of hemp-yarn;
_kase_ being a spindle. The m. k. is used with _Kaseyama_. _Tsuku_
would be _tsukuru_, construct, or _tsuku_, employ (the spindle); other
explanations exist. To Miwa it is applied, taking Miwa as _miwaku_, a
boiling spring, and therefore as sacred.
=minahanasu=, like foam of water; m. k. of _moroki inochi_ (brittle,

no shima_, make one’s way among all the islands; to Minu (as _mi nu_,
