Why, exactly, are they called "tribute balls"? Badagnani (talk) 01:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This is a misunderstanding. Normally, 貢 would mean tribute.  However, in this case, it is only used for its sound value.  The original character is 摃 (to pound with a mallet).  -- A-cai (talk) 00:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
