 hmmm: what is a "field"? (well, i can guess, i guess....)



 1. hmm: well, cld be "pigtail" or chinese "queue" (? queue-line? cue-stick?)

 2. ponytail (mainly american?)

 3. pigtails (mainly american?) (but you cheated by "cueing" or "clueing them

  in"--glueing them in?--with your header!!!)

 4. ponytails, walrus tails (alaska)
