As a small token of my gratitude to Professor Walter Simon for the help that he has ungrudgingly given me over many years, I present to him, with some trepidation, some etymological notes on words which I have encountered during work on the Japanese puppet drama. Even so restricted an investigation has obliged me to consult many long-suffering colleagues at SOAS, and I take this opportunity of thanking them and apologizing for not mentioning them individually.
