ibaye tachitsuru.

12 ashige, reed-like in colour, grey; ashigebuchi, dappled grey. The envoy is—Koromode wo | ashige no uma no | ibayu kowe | kokoro are ka mo | tsune yu ke ni naku. Here the m. k. koromode, vestment-sleeve, is curiously applied to ashige as similar in sound to osoki = uhagi = outer or over-garment. The meaning of ke ni ([異]) is, differently, strangely, specially.

For momoshinuno see List m. k.
