=kimigakeru=, what my lord wears; used with Mikasa yama (hill-name), like _kimi ga sasu_ in the _Kokinshiu_; _mikasa_ means my lord’s hat--so written, in the hill-name it has, probably, a different meaning. =kimomukafu=, opposite liver or bowels; used with _kokoro_, heart, as chief of the inner organs. Perhaps simply in front of the inner organs, 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_ or _hida_ being the folds of a sleeve. Other applications exist, but their value is uncertain. Such are Tanaga (hill-name), _ta_ = arm; _nagi_, cast away, or mow (the arm being used)? =koromotewo=, sleeve of a dress; used with Takaya (pl. n.), from 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. =kotosaheku=, mumble, stammer (as a foreigner); applied to _Kara_, _Kudara_, 17, 24. =kumoriyono=, cloudy or dark night; with _tadoki mo shirazu_ (know not what to do); _madoheru_ (distracted); _shitabahe_ (crouch and creep), 183. =kumowinasu=, like a cloud; used with _tohoku_ (distant); with _isayohi_ (hesitating, like cloud uncertain which way it will drift); _-- kokoro mo shinu ni_ (the heart yielding as a cloud drifts), 41, 222.
