In filling in the gaps in the JIS2 kanji in the "kanjidic" file, I
and my collaborators have turned to many sources, including the main
kan-ei dictionaries. Iain Sinclair has identified a lot of entries in
Spahn & Hadamitsky, a few of which have English meanings which are
nonsense words invented by Lewis Carrol, in his famous 
"Jabberwocky" poem.

Can anyone throw any light on:

(a) what the actual "meanings" of the kanji are;

(b) how they came to get their "Jabberwocky" tags?

Here are the ones I have:

I notice that none of them have PinYin, so I presume they are kokuji.
I'll look them up in Morohashi at some stage.
