Name

"まねきしもの" is

  • not "真似?(fake)" + "きし(?)" + "もの?(thing)",
  • but "招き?(invite, gather)" + "?(An old auxiliary verb, uses for to express past action.)" + "もの?(thing)".

So current name should be wrong, and maybe "(Animal) Gathering thing" is better, according to Olimer and Ship's notes. (Ignored "し". I'm not the specialist of old Japanese, so maybe it's still wrong.) -PortableSunset (talk) 08:51, March 12, 2021 (EST)
