Dried fallopian tube???: this contradicts with the Chinese wiki. The Chinese wiki says that Hasma is commonly mistaken for fallopian tube/uterus whereas it should be the fat surrounding the organ.

Merge proposal

Googling "Frog Harsmar" gave 129 hits and "Frog Hasma" gave 226 hits. I've included "frog" in the search to disambig. Hasma from human names and what not. There are also more news sources for "Hasma" than "Harsma", so I think "Harsmar" should be merged into "Hasma" --Sjschen 01:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

What is the etymology of 哈士蟆? Badagnani (talk) 05:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems difficult to find. Many sources on everything else other than the etymology. Sjschen (talk) 22:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have access to a really great Chinese dictionary that gives the origin of words? Badagnani (talk) 23:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. The only entry I can find in my dictionary says that this is a Chinese medicine product. No mentions of the etymology, but I suspect that this term comes from the either hámǎ ("toad" in mandarin) or a possibly foreign word of some origin that gives the English word "hasma".

Very interesting article showing hasma while still inside the frog: [2]. I guess it's also known as "林蛙油" (forest frog oil). 18:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
