Rich:

Congratulations to your great work and than you for sharing the
statistics with us. It is very interesting. 

If both Mainoumi and Tomonohana were a lot more genki, it would 
have been slitely different from this. Probably less empty columns.

When great Yokozuna Tochinishiki was young, he was called Waza-no
Depart (or Departmentstore for Techniques). Mainoumi and Tomonohana
should work harder and try to beat Tochinishiki's record.

If that is my direct quote, I totally made a mistake.
"Kumu" means to hold each other, and "kunde sumo wo toru" means
to do sumo with holding each other.
"Hanareru" means to keep distance, and "hanarete sumo wo toru" means
to do sumo with keeping distance between rikishi.

Based on my not-so-objective-or-scientific interpretation, you need
to be in close contact with opponent for the techniques of "nage" 
(throwing technique) and "kake or gake" (leg-to-leg tripping technique
except kekaeshi, ketaguri, hikkake and chongake).

I have not seriously cateforized kimarite in the manner Rich presented
here before, but if I do, I will start from the following.

HANARE (or Tsuki-Oshi & Inashi)
Tsuki: Tsukidashi, Tsukitaoshi
Oshi: Oshidashi, Oshitaoshi, Okuridashi, Okuritaoshi
        (You could hold on the opponent's mawashi with okuridashi, but
        kumi-zumo has a connotation of facing each other, I think.
        In okuri... you don't face to each other.)
Hataki & Otoshi: Hatakikomi, Tsukiotoshi, Hikiotoshi, Sokubiotoshi
Keri & Kake: Kekaeshi, Ketaguri, Hikkake, Chongake
Other: Koshikudake

KUMI (or Yotsu)
Yori: Yorikiri, Yoritaoshi, Kimedashi, Kimetaoshi, Abisetaoshi, Waridashi, 
        Sabaori
Tsuri: Tsuridashi, Tsuriotoshi
Nage: Uwatenage, Uwatedashinage, Shitatenage, Shitatedashinage,
        Kotenage, Sukuinage, Katasukashi, Nichonage, Kubinage, Kakenage,
        Koshinage, Yobimodoshi, Harimanage, Ipponzeoi, Yaguranage,
        Yaguraotoshi, Tsukaminage
Kake: Sotogake, Uchigake, Kawazugake, Kirikaeshi, Susoharai, Nimaigeri, 
        Oomata, Komata, Soto-Komata
Hineri: Uwatehineri, Shitatehineri, Kainahineri, Gasshohineri (Kubihineri), 
        Zubuneri
Uchi & Otoshi: Amiuchi, Utchari, Makiotoshi, 
Muso & Tori: Uchimuso, Sotomuso, Komatasukui, Watashikomi,  
        Tottari, Sakatottari, Ashitori, Tsumatori
Sori: Izori, Tasukizori, Soto-Tazukizori, Kakezori, Shumokuzori
Combination: Mitokorozeme
Other: Isamiashi

OTHER
Fusensho

I need more research to finalize this list, but I think this is a good
start.
