Sounds Japanese to me. Unfortunately, that still leaves seven choices. My wife thinks it sounds like a Japanese food, but I’ll vote for 8 and 13 anyhow.

The longer the defs, the less believable they are, so I'll revert to 1
and 2.

I'll throw my guesses at 11 and 12:

> 11. Â*Â*Â* a ghostly demon featured in many traditional Japanese morality tales.
> 12. Â*Â*Â* (W.Afr.) An area of sacred land which the uninitiated are forbidden to enter.

I might have considered 17 if it had rubble in the cavities. I kind of like
the idea of 6 but dont know if anything like Scrabble is possible in
Japanese - must find out. Nor do I know anything about Japanese toilet
training though I suspect that a nanny such as in 10 would have been
replaced by an electronic device.

I'll take the warrior and the demon - 9 and 11

Jim

We seem to be getting more and more exotic. I'll try one Japanese and one not:

and
> 13. small-scale divine spirits in Japan that appear as omens, often seen
