| Comment | Now out of context with the above, but related to your note: "Re 端の月, I see it's very rare..."
Backtracking a little, the full quote was this:- "世にへなばよしなき雲もおおひなん いざ入りてまし山の端の月。" From 武士道、 第１４章 A translation [not mine] in a copy of the book gives:- For fear lest clouds may dim her light, Should she but graze this nether space, The young moon poised above the height, Doth hastily betake to flight. I don't think I would have got to that result from the Japanese text. I have much work to do! |

| Editorial Comment | The risks of drawing conclusions from translated poetry. Strings of のs are a problem. Is 山の端の月 (山の端)の月 or 山の(端の月). And of cause の has more applications than just the genitive case. |
