[[File:Miima-kuburi.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Miima kubiri as it appears today]]
*''Okinawan'': 嶺間御殿 ''(miima udun)''
Miima udun was the [[Shuri]] residence of [[Bainan]], the daughter of King [[Sho Iko|Shô Ikô]], and the second to hold the position of ''[[kikoe-ogimi|kikoe-ôgimi]]'' (high priestess). She thus came to be known, herself, as ''Miima kikoe ôgimi ganashi''.
A narrow sidestreet neighboring the mansion came to be known as ''Miima kubiri'', a placename which still exists, from the word ''kubiri'' meaning a narrow, squeezed, space. The placename ''Miima kubiri'' also appears in the ''[[Omoro soshi|Omoro sôshi]]''.
The site of the [[Ounu dunchi]] mansion can be seen nearby.
