Strategies is a complex work. It is difficult to determine the proper form for a verse: haiku, tanka, or limerick? Some verses have clearly been altered from their original, but if to remove, alter, or insert is mostly unknown. Yamiko's edition, the most complete known, may include attempts to correct past (or future!) alterations, leading to more confusion. Consider the following fragment from Strategies 1:30...
Know your enemy:
test him with a new minion
to learn both their strengths.
