Re: [sumo] SPOILERS - Asashoryu-Kotonowaka Question

["Paolo Viel" <paolo.viel@iol.it>]

First of all, I am a newcomer to this list: I do not know exactly how to behave
and I do not even know whether it is correct for me to send this note in this form and with this subject. So please forgive me and feel free to give me your advice ! Thanks in advance.
Coming to the question, I had sent a note to the so called "SumoForum", but the thread stopped and I could not have any answer. I hope that somebody can help me here !!
The question has to do with the Asashoryu-Kotonowaka bout, since I have seen a lot of points raised about the "dead body" and I am trying to understand. So I write here the contents of my original questions:

Just to see if I can definitely understand the "dead body" rule:
1. is there a place where I can find the rule described (in english !!) ?
2. has somebody ever seen a bout where the gyoji stops the bout for a "dead body" before any of the two touches the ground 
or exits the dohyo ? This should happen if, as I understand, "dead body" means immediately and directly a loss.
3. are there any bouts on Banzuke.com movies ( 25 bashos x 15 days = more or less 3500-4000 bouts !!!!) 
where a "dead body" case can be seen ?
4. Somebody advised me to see the Kimarite description of okuritsuridashi. But it says that the attacker can cross the edge 
with one foot without losing "because both feets of the defender are in the air". That can easily be understood, 
but if this is a case of "dead body" it cannot be considered similar to what happened in Asashoryu-Kotonowaka....
5. Somebody wrote more or less that the same happens when somebody is thrown in the air out of the dohyo. 
Here I do not understand at all: we have seen many and many cases when a rikishi is in fly well outside the tawara 
with absolutely no chance of flying back inside (ahahah...) and his opponent loses because he touches the ground. 
So what has that to do with the "dead body" ?

I will really be grateful to anybody that can help me to understand ! Thanks in advance....
