I need to confirm the Japanese term, since 雌黄 was pulled off of Wiktionary and in Chinese the term refers to an entirely different yellow dyestuff, orpiment. The Catalan is also merely a guess based on the Spanish--whose variants are amusing to me. Speaking of which, the Old Man was tickled by the multiplicity of forms for "gamboge". In addition to the chief one, the OED lists cambodia, cambogium, camboge, cambugium, gambaugium, gambogia, gambozia, gamboidea, gambogium, gumbouge, gambouge, gamboge, gambooge, and gambugia.
