<upd_detl>In the text which I was reading "尾羽根" was used for tail feathers. I checked on your site to see what you had. You had the original entry for this submission, plus the following:-

尾羽 【おは】 (n) tail and wings; tail feathers

In addition, there was some usage in names which included the "根".

Google search for "尾羽" gets some 3k, whereas "尾羽根" gets some 72k.

Perhaps Rene would like to look at the original entry for this submission.

Rene may also know what "hippograph" means in context.</upd_detl>
