OTHER NAMES RELATING TO ORDER OF BIRTH

O-Hatsu"Beginning,"—first-born.
O-Tsugi"Next,"—the second.
O-Naka"Midmost."
O-Tomé"Stop,"—cease.

Some few of the next group of names are probably æsthetic. But such names are sometimes given only in reference to the time or season of birth; and the reason for any particular yobina of this class is difficult to decide without personal inquiry.
