yeah, it's not really a 'crown'.  and also 'i crowned him' means 'i hit him in the head', which was my first reaction when i saw 'crowning a boy'.  but i can't think of a better word

how about 'crowning a boy with a traditional Japanese cap' or something?

also, i'll bet this is mostly archaic.  it's in my kogo jiten at any rate

Scott, please don't gloss nouns as "to ....".
I'm not sure "crown" is the right word. Any other suggestions?
