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

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)Reply
